Partir

Partir by Jean-Michel Folon, Giardino delle rose (Rose Garden), Via Poggi, Florence

“Partir” by Jean-Michel Folon, 2002
Giardino delle rose (Rose Garden)
Via Poggi
Florence, December 2024

“The Rose Garden is located below the Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence, a superb place to visit also famous for its twelve sculptures by the great painter and sculptor Jean Michel Folon. It’s a place of extraordinary beauty, where there are many types of roses, artworks and a wonderful view of Florence. After a short walk we arrive at the panoramic area where there are the famous artworks ‘Partir’ and ‘Je me souviens’ (the frame-shaped suitcase, and the old man on the bench on which anyone can sit with and admire the Florence panorama).” (The Rose Garden of Florence, ChiantiLife)
