Mediterranean Hearts: Vincenzo Calli’s solo show at the Accademia delle

Mediterranean Hearts: Vincenzo Calli solo exhibition

The solo exhibition Mediterranean Hearts by Tuscan artist Vincenzo Calli opens on 3 April 2026 at 17:30 and is on view at the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence from 4 to 29 April 2026. The show brings together more than 30 works in oil and mixed media.

The display revolves around two central motifs in Calli's practice: the human figure and the landscape. Works are built through broad, nuanced fields of colour and formal synthesis, creating suspended scenes that encourage slow, contemplative viewing. The term "Mediterranean" in the title functions as a cultural and ideal reference—an assemblage of memories and contemporary tensions that shapes the symbolic charge of the images.
