Fondazione CR Firenze and Museo Galileo invite you to discover the exhibition "MIRABILIA GRAPHICA. Ignazio Muligino’s Micrographic Calligrams" through an exclusive guided tour with the exhibition curator, followed by a hands-on workshop led by expert calligrapher Caterina Scardillo.

Each participant will then have the opportunity to personally try handwriting with a fountain pen, exploring the gestures, shapes, and tools of traditional calligraphy.
