The studio of Gianfranco Mello, on Borgo Pinto in Florence, is a soaring space that allows you to get up close and personal with the works of the artist. Landscapes of Florence and Tuscany, portraits, and still life paintings fill the space. Curated by his an older woman who is familiar with both the artist and his works, you can gain an immense understanding of the works, from the backstory to the meanings within. Photos aren’t allowed in the space, but it’s free to enter and take a look.
