Back in Siena, the Pinacoteca Nazionale is undergoing significant changes, directed by Axel Hémery, to modernize its presentation and management. Since obtaining autonomy, the museum is focusing on an extensive narrative of Sienese art from the 13th to 17th centuries, aiming to highlight the evolution of styles and broaden conversations beyond the renowned 14th century.
