The entertaining
I Love Lego exhibition arrives at Pontedera s PALP Palazzo Pretorio. With over a million bricks in a kaleidoscope of colours, the show charms and cheers with the creative constructions that turn toys into art. Play, have fun and discover with the six dioramas that vary from pirates to Ancient Rome. Architectural and engineering masterpieces are rendered in Lego form with detailed sets constructed with the help of group of enthusiastic collectors in partnership with Legolize, a humorous platform that creates comics using LEGO founded by Mattia Marangoni, Samuele Rovituso and Pietro Alcaro. Specific installations will “invade” the existing dioramas with trademark humour and flair. Perfect for fun, fans and families, booking a ticket in advance is recommended. The exhibition will be open from Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm and tickets cost from 6-10 euro.
At 6pm on December 31, a marvellous musical production will take place at the Sala della Malachite in the
Stibbert Museum. A viola duo consisting of Stefano Zanobini (first viola of the Orchestra della Toscana) and Hildegard Kuen (violist of the Euphoria Quartet) will perform music by
Nardini, Cambini and Mozart in a lyrical ushering in of the New Year. The concert will be accompanied by a historical-visual guide to the venue and will be streamed live on the A.Gi.Mus. Firenze YouTube channel.
