It recalls and emphasises the strong social relevance of the craftsman, whose workshop once thrived around the Palazzo, intended as a 'showcase' and a place for experimentation. This allowed a continuous exchange with patrons of all classes and offered the craftsman the opportunity to benefit from a direct relationship with the population as the holder of social aesthetics.
Although it is rooted in the most ancient artisan tradition, it wants to highlight the contemporary nature of craftsmanship in order to valorise its figure, work and role in the cultural and commercial context, as a high expression of quality and technique.
Once again this year, Artigianato e Palazzo proposes an unprecedented journey among the protagonists of yesterday's and today's craft culture - from artisans to art - designers - along a route that winds its way through the Lemon Houses of the Renaissance Garden and some rooms of Palazzo Corsini. Animated by exhibitions, installations, workshops and events, it offers an opportunity to reflect on the role of the craftsman in contemporary society.
