The noble families conference “Of Noble and Notable Families – The Living Pages of the Golden Book” will be held in Florence on July 20, 2024, at the Florence Art Deposit Gallery, located at via M. Bufalini 17. This unique event, conceived by Yuliya and Alesia Savitskaya under the patronage of the Salviamo la Cultura Association, is dedicated to those who believe that high culture is the foundation of contemporary society.
As Aristotle once wrote: “Culture is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity.” It is precisely upon this principle that this initiative was born.
Noble Families Conference in Florence: History and Mission
For centuries, Europe’s progressive nobility has built the foundations of modern cultural prosperity. Italy, particularly during the Renaissance, made an extraordinary contribution to this shared heritage. Today, the representatives of that tradition continue to preserve and transmit cultural values of excellence.
The noble families conference was created to bring visibility to this commitment: to offer these public figures the opportunity to share their work, initiatives, and ideas, while building cooperation networks for the development of a culture based on classical values.
Who the Creators Are
Yuliya and Alesia Savitskaya, Belarusian writers, poets, and journalists active in the Italian cultural scene, manage the Florence Art Deposit Gallery in Florence. For years, they have been pursuing publishing and educational projects related to etiquette and elite culture. To learn more about their activities, please visit the website of the Salviamo la Cultura Association.
Noble Families Conference Program: Books, Heraldry, and Etiquette
The event features book presentations and speeches by prominent public figures:
- The Golden Book of Noble and Notable Families — Count Prince Enzo Modulo Morosini, a specialist in heraldry, presents the volume along with the attached Armoriale Storico Generale Italiano (General Italian Historical Armorial). The family coat of arms—a codified communication system and an exclusive privilege of each lineage—becomes a tool to renew an ancient identity system within today’s society.
- Etiquette: Social Renaissance — Princesses Yuliya and Alesia Savitskaya present their book on the analysis and solutions of etiquette in the 21st century, addressing the challenges of contemporary social interaction. Delve deeper into this topic in our article on professional etiquette in Florence.
- Savonarola, Santo, Subito (Savonarola, Saint, Now) — Prince Dr. Don Roberto d’Amato, political scientist and Grand Master of the Noble Order of Saint Nicholas, tells the story of the monk who dreamed of a church at the service of the poor and the dispossessed.
- Florence: Holy City of the Templars — Art critic Count Luca Monti explores the foundational values of the medieval world and the legacy of the Knights of the Ancient Order. To explore Florentine Templar history further, visit Florence UNESCO World Heritage.
