The Museum of Graphics aims to remember the recently deceased master Paolo Ciampini by offering a journey into his figurative universe through the exhibition “Homage to Paolo Ciampini”, which features an evocative selection of etchings.

The works, belonging to the Museum Collections, were donated to the University of Pisa on the occasion of the exhibition “Paolo Ciampini. The Signs of the Face“, organized by the Museum of Graphics in 2012.

With this new exhibition, the Museum intends to celebrate the figure of an artist who, while maintaining his Tuscan identity, has achieved results that have earned him prestigious international recognition, finding his most intimate creative dimension in etching and achieving extraordinary expressive mastery, especially in the portrait genre, presented in large-format panels.

Exhibition opening with free admission: Friday, November 21, 2025, 12:00 PM

The exhibition will be open to visitors from November 21st to December 3rd according to the museum's entrance fees.
