Frederick Stibbert, European Citizen

On May 10, from 4 p.m. onwards at the Museo Stibbert there will be a short conference on Frederick Stibbert, a citizen of Europe, and a visit to the Museum that hosts all collections that the Florence-born British Citizen bequeathed to the city, in particular the weapons collection but also many pieces of art and everyday life of the European, Islamic and Far East (especially Japanese) civilizations. The theme of the conference will be the creation of the Museum by the collector, who was also a traveller and a man of the world, who had been in all countries of Europe and was a symbol of internationalism not restricted by the limits of our continent but roamed also in the Middle and Far East.
