COVID-19

VISIO is centred on constructing a shared experience, forged by an inclusive community of artists, curators and collectors. That’s why we firmly believe in doing everything possible to help our guests and participants come to Florence safely.
We are well aware of all the problems and uncertainties caused by the current global health crisis. If at the time of selection an artist knows it will be impossible to attend, or if their trip must be cancelled for reasons beyond anyone’s control, they will be allowed to participate in all sections of the programme via streaming.
