Picchiani & Barlacchi have produced a commemorative medal for Mandragora, to celebrate the 750 year anniversary of the birth of the Florentine poet, Dante Alighieri.
Mandragora is a company founded in Florence in 1985 and specialised in the management of bookshops and museum events, such as those for the Florentine cathedral complex (Santa Reparata Crypt, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Museo dell’Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore), for Palazzo Medici Riccardi and the Brancacci Chapel, ArtStore, located in piazza del Duomo, and Agora|Z, inside palazzo Strozzi.
The medal was inspired by an original coin created by Gastone Picchiani, our company’s founder together with Bruno Barlacchi.
The medal is a limited edition series, with 300 specimens and can be purchased at the Biblioteca Laurenziana Medicea.
