Pirjo and Reijo Toivanen: Light from Italy to Finnish Golden Age Art
took place · 15 Oct 2026
Rikhardinkadun kirjasto, Helsinki
Description was written before the event
Pirjo and Reijo Toivanen moved to Italy about twenty years ago, and through their travels they have become deeply familiar with both art and history. In their work "Light from Italy to Finnish Golden Age Art", they have traced the places, sites and atmosphere in Florence and several other Italian towns that captivated Finnish artists over 120 years ago.
At this event, the Toivanen couple will share how the book came to be.
