Created in 1998 by Joyce Acciaioli Rudge, Splendor of Florence celebrates the world’s most important city of art and culture by forming partnerships that recognize the generations of artists, artisans, musicians and chefs whose accomplishments still influence our lives today and inspires people to discover the importance of continuity and tradition as we move towards the future.

This festival, which will be held in Florence in November 2026, will emphasize the heroic and extensive restoration efforts post 1966 as well as the seriousness of the climate crisis.
