About this audio guide
This guide to Museo Novecento in Florence follows Alberto Della Ragione, a naval engineer who spent his career salvaging sunken ships and his spare wages buying paintings by young, often anti-fascist Italian artists through the 1930s and 40s. You'll hear about painters he backed, including Renato Guttuso, and about the flood that tore through Florence in November 1966. Look for the canvases by De Chirico, Morandi and Casorati as you move through the glass-roofed cloister.
