A women's rights march, Chinese videogames and a karaoke night: this week in Florence
It's a murky week as the usually cerulean winter skies have clouded over to make way for melancholy. Luckily, there's plenty going on in the next few days to ensure that we can cast aside the duvet and indulge in the weird and wonderful array of events that Florence has in store for us all. Traditional Chinese art meets videogames at the Fantasy Westward Journey Cultural Heritage Exhibition, currently on at Villa Strozzi, while the Women's Rising March will take to the streets on January 18. Sing the classics at a karaoke night organized by St. Mark's cultural association at the popular Caffè degli Artigiani on January 19, splurge on a wardrobe update for 2020 at Vintage Selection (Fortezza da Basso, January 22-26) and indulge in a pint or two at the Brewer of the Year fair (TuscanyHall, January 17–19).
Best events of the week
Chinese videogames, a march for women's rights and the St Mark's karaoke night: the unusual, meaningful and fun-filled events this week in Florence.
Picasso exhibition at Palazzo Medici Riccardi
One of the greatest artists of the 20th century and his complex relationship with women is explored in this show featuring shots by one of the most successful 20th-century photographers.
Cultural twinning between the Uffizi and Siena
The Uffizi Galleries and the City of Siena have met to discuss future cultural collaborations between Florence and Siena.
The indie Piaf: Sabina Sciubba by Jane Farrell
Singer, composer, actress and video artist Sabina Sciubba is not easily categorized. After a peripatetic life between Rome, Germany, France and New York, Florence is lucky to have her here. She'll be performing at Cinema La Compagnia on January 25.
Winter exhibitions in Prato by Alexandra Korey
This winter, Prato's museums provide at least three good reasons to return to the textile city. Consider it an easy day trip by train, with plenty of opportunities for good food and shopping between museums and before returning to Florence.
Nugolo: garden of goodness by Helen Farrell
Bunches of tomatoes dangle like cotton-wool clouds from the ceiling as excited diners cross the threshold into Nugolo, the garage turned garden-style restaurant along via della Mattonaia.
