In line with the its metaluce program, conceived for the Marini Museum as Visiting Director 2021, Mario Nanni he will spend the whole day inside the museum space photographing and building his personal story through natural light which, over the course of twenty-four hours, will filter through the large windows of the Museum, enveloping works and environments.
Mario Nanni inserts, therefore, in his vision for the Marini Museum the concept of "metalight" a philosophical thought that accompanies his work and his personality as a designer-artist-author, as he likes to define himself:
"This è my ongoing cross-sectional research - says Mario Nanni - my philosophy of life, 'design voice of the verb to love': the design does not è a simple activityà professional, è a way of being, of thinking, of acting, of doing. knowing how to always question, look for a new way to build something that doesn't exist, ask yourself every time 'becauseé no?"
La metalight by Mario Nanni, like metaphysics, surpasses matter and create a single story, in a totalityà between the different arts that merge all'interior of the Museum, a high example of universal humanism, where the collection of one of the greatest Italian sculptors, such as Marino Marini, lives in perfect harmony with one of the masterpieces of Renaissance architecture, the Rucellai Chapel with the small temple of the Holy Sepulcher by Leon Battista Alberti.
Always on the same day of June 21st, Mario Nanni and Francesco dal Co, architecture historian, former Director of the Architecture Biennale and Director of the prestigious monthly Casabella, they will discuss the topic of'universal artist in a dialogue in the light of natural light all'interior of the museum, from 19.30 to 21.01, sunset time.
"L'universal artist è l' arilluminated head - declares Patrizia Asproni, President of the Marino Marini Museum – admirable synthesis between past and future. Ed è on the day of the solstice d'summer, a fateful date for the ancients dedicated to profound nature, which the Museum celebrates light of talent: that of the creative genius of Leon Battista Alberti, enlightened architect, and dell'artist Marino Marini, whose wonderful sculptures express the più complete synthesis, but also of Nanni and Dal Co themselves who, with their abilityà of visione, they are capable of creating extraordinary works in a'harmonious proportion between light and art".
The meeting with Mario Nanni and Francesco dal Co can be followed both in presence and remotely through the webex platform,

The Marino Marini Museum
The Marino Marini Museum was born from the will of Marino and Marina Marini who, at the end of the XNUMXs, identified the former church of San Pancrazio in Florence as the ideal place to link the donation of works that the artist, shortly before to die, he had done to the city. The restructuring of the church, recovered after centuries and repurposed for a public function, was carried out by the architects Lorenzo Papi and Bruno Sacchi who knew how to create an installation in the image and likeness of that fascinating world of Marino Marini, one of the most significant personalities of the figurative culture of the twentieth century. The museum hosts 183 works by Marino Marini: drawings, lithographs, paintings, sculptures, all exhibited to the public on the four levels of the museum. An integral part of the museum, recovered for public visits after a long restoration, it is one of the marvels of the Florentine Renaissance: the Rucellai Chapel, absolute masterpiece of the architect Leon Battista Alberti, with the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre.
