As half of Italy heads back into lockdown, the French artist JR has unveiled a major installation on the façade of the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence that stresses the importance of maintaining access to culture during the public health crisis.
Several Italian cities, including Rome, Milan, and Venice, have been back under lockdown since March 15, and will remain closed until April 6. While Florence is under slightly less stringent restrictions than some other areas, museums and other cultural institutions are shuttered.
