On Wednesday, 19 November 2008 Paolo Pontari and Marina Riccucci (Università di Pisa) gave a fascinating and innovative lecture at Palazzo Rucellai titled Un riscoperto arazzo mediceo: committenza artistica e letteratura umansitica. The talk focused on an hitherto neglected mid sixteenth-century tapestry belonging to a series of ‘arazzi’ commissioned by Duke Cosimo I to commemorate Lorenzo the Magnificent. The tapestry discussed by Pontari and Riccucci had been long forgetten, as shown by the lack of specific studies devoted to it in the whole XX century. More important still, their interdisciplinary and innovative research has led them to identify both the members of the Medici court (such as Poliziano, Bertoldo di Giovanni and Botticelli) surrounding Lorenzo in the tapestry and the exact setting of the scene: the villa at Poggio a Caiano instead of the gardens in the ‘Accademia di San Marco’, as wrongly suggested by late nineteenth-century scholars.
