First and foremost, the setting: Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, described by Bruno Zevi as the “prototype of Renaissance urban proportion.” One of Florence’s most iconic squares—with Brunelleschi’s Dome as its backdrop—served for eight years as the stage of the Musart Festival, welcoming artists including Roberto Bolle, Francesco De Gregori, Vinicio Capossela, Franco Battiato, Paolo Conte, Stewart Copeland, Steve Hackett, Yann Tiersen, Chick Corea, Jethro Tull, Baustelle, Caetano Veloso, Nicola Piovani, Stefano Bollani, Fiorella Mannoia, Riccardo Cocciante, David Garrett, Goran Bregović and Madame.

Through interviews with artists, musicians, promoters, artistic directors, institutional representatives and original archival material, Musart Festival – Eight Years in the Square retraces the birth and evolution of a festival that has always combined outstanding musical performances with visits to cultural landmarks—some accessible exclusively during the festival—as well as talks, themed itineraries, screenings, photography exhibitions and local food and wine experiences, creating a continuous dialogue with Florence’s extraordinary artistic heritage and history.

Across its eight editions, the festival developed through the collaboration of the Istituto degli Innocenti, the University of Florence, the Italian Military Geographic Institute, Caritas Diocesana, Sky Arte, the Tuscan Museum Network, the National Archaeological Museum of Florence, the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence and Teatro La Compagnia.
