Exhibitions and Fairs in Florence

Fashion, dance, theater, handmade crafts, art, opera and history. At any time of year, there's always a spectacle to be seen in Florence. Here's our introduction to some of the biggest expositions and festivals in the city.

Maggio Fiorentino

Music has played a very important part in the artistic life of Florence. The very first opera, in fact, took place here at the end of the 16th century, based on the theories and experiences of the Camerata dei Bardi.
Nowadays, the temple of Florentine music is the Teatro Comunale, home to the Maggio Musicale, which, like its sister cities - Salzburg and Bayreuth - hosts the oldest and most important Festival in Europe, complete with concert and opera seasons of the highest quality.
