An event not to be missed!

For the first time in Tuscany an exhibition of Ai Weiwei’s art works, one of the most important contemporary Chinese artists. San Gimignano, the town of the hundred towers, a jewel-city practically unchanged since the Middle Ages, an open-air museum, a UNESCO-protected site, houses the works of this courageous and controversial artist, representative of the contemporary independent art of the People’s Republic of China.
