Today it is one of the most important points of reference for contemporary art in the world and it is continuously searching for and nurturing the most innovative and interesting artists. The mission that the Florence Biennale has followed since its inception has been to work in favour of intercultural dialogue and to promote respect and tolerance between peoples through art and culture. The efforts it has made in promoting these values have resulted in numerous recognitions from international organisations such as the United Nations and the UNESCO Centers. 

Florence Biennale  Participate:

For about 20 years The Biennale of Florence has worked on promoting the development of artists work by proposing and attempting to conceive a new way to view and/or understand Contemporary Art.

Since the foundation of the Florence Biennale, about 5000 artists from 100 different countries in the world have discovered that the city of Florence is the ideal area to promote and display their art and different cultures.
