Casa Masaccio – Center for contemporary art today is the home where artistic research and experimentation with new languages ​​are promoted.
Over the years, it has gradually developed its identity from a municipal gallery to a center for contemporary art, acquiring recognition as a Museum of Regional Relevance thanks also to its work of enhancing,disseminating and promoting knowledge related to contemporary arts.
Casa Masaccio is certainly a rarity on the national scene: it is in fact one of the few houses attributed to a master of Renaissance painting (in this case, Tommaso Cassai, known as Masaccio) sufficiently documented to declare its authenticity.
Today in the Center for Contemporary Art the emergencies of contemporary arts are critically analyzed through a careful selection of exhibition activities, conferences, workshops, film reviews and concerts.
Over the years, the development of the collaborations undertaken has made it possible to host important works and artists in Casa Masaccio and to build synergies and relationships both on the territory and with the realities that deal with and produce contemporary culture at national and international level.
Casa Masaccio center for contemporary art is presented as a space in continuous transformation, a feature that has made it increasingly necessary to place alongside the museum new places in the city to support activities, including Palazzo Salviati, where the “Casa Masaccio in residence” project is carried out, a platform of residences for the mobility of both national and international artists and curators, and Casa Giovanni Mannozzi, where the permanent collection and the educational section of the museum are located.

Established in 1864 thanks to the local notable Vincenzo Mannozzi Torini, who collected the works from local churches in the Oratory to save them from the probable dispersion and chaos caused by the post-unification period, the Museum of the Basilica of S. Maria delle Grazie is a precious treasure trove containing works of inestimable beauty.
In 1990 it was opened to the public when, thanks to the Superintendency of Arezzo, three rooms were set up in the rooms behind the Basilica to house the most important works, including a masterpiece of the Annunciation by Fra Giovanni da Fiesole known as Beato Angelico, thus giving the opportunity to admire the features and beauty of important artworks .
The collection has also been enriched with some works recovered thanks to the contribution of individuals and companies of the area during the restoration campaign “The memory of art in 1999-2000”.
The Museum, whose scientific committee is also part of the Municipality of S.Giovanni Valdarno, is integrated into the Upper Valdarno Museum System. Since 2012, the Museum has been included in the list of museums accredited by the Tuscany Region as Museums of Regional Relevance, a recognition confirmed twice in 2015 and 2018.

The historic centre of San Giovanni Valdarno, which has preserved its medieval appearance and the typical shape of the so-called Terre Nuove, has its heart in the prestigious Palazzo D’Arnolfo, attributed by Giorgio Vasari to the great architect Arnolfo di Cambio and currently home to the Museum of Terre Nuove.
The Museo delle Terre Nuove is the first museum dedicated to the development of new settlements in the late Middle Ages, the Terre Nuove, which affected a large part of Europe and in particular Tuscany and the Florentine territory where since the end of the thirteenth century, Florence founded numerous garrisons including Castel San Giovanni, the current San Giovanni Valdarno. A real urban revolution of which Tuscany was the protagonist: the New Florentine Lands became the model for a new conception of the city.
Videos, images, interactive animations, models and historical re-enactments allow you to understand what were the urban and constructive features that shaped the New Tuscan Lands and outline the political background with demographic, economic and military aspects of these new communities, leading the public to immerse themselves in the lively medieval world.
