Newly Acquired: Fata Morgana by Giambologna ✨   This extraordinarily rare and internationally renowned sculpture is now on view in Gallery 117B of the Italian Renaissance collection. 🖤   We were honored to welcome Mayor Francesco Pignotti and two of his colleagues (Paola Nocentini and Valentina Buti) from Bagno a Ripoli, the village outside of Florence where the villa il Riposo is located. The grounds of the villa include the grotto for which the Fata Morgana by Giambologna was commissioned, and help to provide historical context for the gallery design of Fata Morgana’s new home at the CMA.   Learn more about this masterpiece during your next visit.
