Catalogue published for Henry Moore: In Tuscany exhibition at the Museo Novecento. Also published in Italian as Henry Moore: In Toscana.

First part of the catalogue is made up of photographs of 17 bronzes, 7 works on paper, and a plaster-and-clay model related to Maquette for Square Form with Cut. Following are nine short essays, largely about Moore's connections with Italy: Sergio RISALTI writes about Moore in Tuscany; Emmanuele GRECO discusses Moore's visit to Italy in 1925; Marco BAZZINI discusses Moore and Marino MARINI; and Lucia MANINI focuses on Moore's connection with Il Bisonte. Federica BERTI discusses Moore and the Forte di Belvedere; Carlo Ludovico RAGGHIANTI's essay for the introduction to Il Bisonte's Five Engravings by Moore is reproduced; Giulio GORI writes on his friendship with Moore, and Sandro VERONESI on Large Square Form with Cut in Prato. Finally, Dominique PAPI writes about Giorgio CIPRIANI's photographs of Moore in the Papi Cipriani Archive. There are also two selections of press cuttings, one on the return of Warrior with Shield to Florence, and the other on the 1972 Mostra di Henry Moore exhibition at the Forte di Belvedere.
