On June 11, 1924, the Gallery of Modern Art at the Pitti Palace in Florence opened, and to celebrate its centennial, the Uffizi Galleries is publishing a virtual exhibition on its official website that tells the story of Gam through a selection of more than fifty masterpieces housed in the rooms on the second floor of the palace.

The idea of creating a museum space dedicated to modern art in Tuscany dates back to the early twentieth century, when the collection of critic and patron Diego Martelli was donated to the city of Florence with the aim of founding a museum that would represent the most advanced aesthetic trends of the time.
