The Medici Dynasty Show at Artimino to celebrate 300 years of Carmignano On September 25th, September 30th and October 2nd

On September 25th Villa “La Ferdinanda” will host the first theater piece “The Medici’s legacy”. What’s better than the same voice of Grand Duke Gian Gastone de’ Medici to recount the deeds of the dynasty that ruled Tuscany for three centuries and that exactly three hundred years ago established the first wine appellations in the world?
In Artimino, on the sweet hills of Montalbano, this fall history takes shape and voice, to remember with a theatral show the cultural legacy left by the Medici family in Florence and Tuscany. On September 25th will stage the first live show of “The Medici’s legacy”, presented by The Medici Dynasty Show. A real dive into history, accompanied by fascinating multimedia content, music, video mapping and costumes, set in the “Hundred chimneys’s Villa”, the nickname given to the “Ferdinanda”, the former hunting residence of the Grand Duke and today Unesco world heritage site. On 24th September 1716 the Grand Duke Cosimo III issued the announcement Above Borders Declaration of the four regions Chianti, Pomino, Carmignano and Valdarno di Sopra, to protect and enhance those wines considered among the most virtuous ones. This is the first example in the world of the concept of designation and production regulations, and the document defines strict harvest rules and production and delimit the area of Carmignano. The extravagant Grand Duke Gian Gastone and his sister Anna Maria Luisa will come together for the last time: from their meeting a flashback will trace the glorious history of the dynasty, patronage, social initiatives, including those concerning the wine and the protection of quality products. In the Villa “La Ferdinanda”, The Medici’s Legacy will trace a fascinating history, weaving together the highlights of the Medici period to provide viewers cues to reflection but also strong emotions. The play was born after an historical research and the expertise of a multidisciplinary team, with the aim to bring down the audience into the show by offering a new way to learn the history of Artimino and Carmignano’s territory.
