The Lorenzo de’ Medici Institute and the film company Fair Play have won the public tender to occupy one and a half floors of the former San Firenze courthouse.

Devoted to art and screen work, the Associazione Palazzo delle Arti e dello Spettacolo (aPAS) will be established on part of the second floor and the entirety of the third, amounting to roughly 2,000 usable square metres. It will be geared towards education, research, cultural output and social innovation. The building also houses the Zeffirelli Foundation and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation.
“Workshops, seminars and multimedia exhibitions,” are what aPAS and LdM Institute president Carla Guarducci promises. “We hope to have them up and running by the end of 2020.”
