When Bacchus arrived in Tuscany. Francesco Redi: poetry, science, art and wine culture in the Grand Duchy of the last Medici and in Medicean Montepulciano
Palazzo Comunale (Sala Consiliare), Montepulciano
On October 9, 2026, Montepulciano hosts a study day dedicated to Francesco Redi, on the four hundredth anniversary of the birth of the physician, naturalist and writer from Arezzo. At the center of the meeting is his dithyramb "Bacco in Toscana", which celebrated Tuscan wines like no other, from the Nobile di Montepulciano to the great reds of the Grand Duchy. Scholars, institutional representatives and protagonists of the wine world discuss the historical, literary and scientific value of the work, retracing the link between Redi, the Medici court and 17th-century Montepulciano. The event is part of the Valdichiana2026 Capitale Toscana della Cultura program and takes place at Palazzo Comunale, in the heart of the city of Vino Nobile.
Organized by: Consorzio del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Comune di Montepulciano, with the collaboration of Fondazione Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte di Montepulciano and Società Storica Poliziana.
