The Gallerie degli Uffizi has highlighted Giuseppe Nomellini’s ‘Mezzogiorno in giardino’ in a post marking Ferragosto, noting that the work is exhibited at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Palazzo Pitti, Florence. The social-media message pairs the painting with the seasonal ritual of an August holiday meal shared with loved ones, using the image to evoke one of Italy’s most familiar summer customs.
The post comes from the Uffizi Galleries’ official account and draws attention to the painting’s setting within the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, one of the museum circuit’s principal venues for modern art. No separate exhibition title or dedicated event is given in the source material, and the announcement does not indicate a temporary loan or a special presentation beyond the fact of the work’s display there.
Nomellini is identified in the post by the title of the painting alone, and the work is presented as a visual counterpart to the Ferragosto lunch. That framing places the image within a wider cultural association between art, summer leisure and family gathering, while keeping the message grounded in the museum’s own display context at Palazzo Pitti.
The Uffizi’s wording is brief but specific: ‘Mezzogiorno in giardino’ is on view at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Palazzo Pitti, in Florence. The institution accompanies the image with seasonal holiday wishes rather than curatorial commentary, so the source provides no further description of the painting’s subject, date, medium or place in Nomellini’s career.
Founded as part of the Uffizi museum complex, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna occupies a central place in Florence’s museum landscape, and Palazzo Pitti remains one of the city’s major historic settings for art display. In this case, the Uffizi’s post uses a single work from that collection context to mark a national holiday, linking the museum’s holdings to the rhythms of the Italian summer.
The original message was published on 15 August 2026 through the Uffizi Galleries’ X account, with the caption ending in a holiday greeting to followers. The only verified venue given is the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
