From 29th October 2011 to 5th February 2012 the exhibition "The art of caricaturing writers and artists in Florence: the original drawings of Mippia Fucini (1907-1998)" will be displayed at the Museum of Satire and Caricatures in Forte dei Marmi - Lucca.
An exhibition of biting caricatures of the protagonists of the literary and artistic Florence in 1900. There are some very famous caricatures, such as those of Piero Bargellini and Manlio Cancogni, of Primo Conti and Giovanni Spadolini, of Carlo Levi and Indro Montanelli. But there are also some original cartoons created for the newspaper "Nazione sera” in the early fifties.
Mippia Fucini – granddaughter of the writer Renato Fucini, from whom she inherited the caustic wit, and wife of the sculptor Bruno Catarzi – also had an intense and extremely valuable artistic production.
Donation of drawings to the Museum by Anchise Tempestini.
