Arms and armed with Susanne Probst

On the occasion of the Festival d’Europa, from 6th to 10th May, the Associazione Via Maggio promotes the event “Gli antiquari come messaggeri delle culture europee” (“Antique dealers as messengers of the European cultures”), by which the street will be transformed into an ideal path in the open air among shop windows and antique shops in search for the European contributions in the present and past Florence. In the historical Galleria di Giovanni Turchi in Via Maggio 50/52r, Professor Susanne Probst, an expert in ancient arms and suits of armours, will guide tourists and collectors of the shop to disclose and analyse some aspects of this interesting sector that has been representing a peculiarity of this historical firm for over sixty years, together with a careful selection of works ranging from the high period to the beginning of the 19th century.
