THE ATELIER

L'Armadillo Atelier 51r is located in a historic building in the heart of Florence, in via del Porcellana 51r, a few steps from the church of Santa Maria Novella and the railway station.

 

Inside the atelier there is the graphic arts laboratory and the exhibition area.

 

The activities organized by L'Armadillo are many: temporary exhibitions by italian and foreign artists, engraving and art courses and workshops, training courses, collaboration with associations and schools.

 

L'Armadillo also hosts cultural meetings, such as presentations and small group conferences.

 

Crossing the doorstep of L'Armadillo means entering an evocative artistic dimension that takes you back to the ancient workshops where art and crafts were learned, which made the city of Florence great. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the atelier is located in Via del Porcellana, known as the street where the great Master Sandro Botticelli was born, lived and worked.
