Centrica supports the cultural programme of the Lyceum Club Internazionale di Firenze, promoting the organisation of a series of events dedicated to music and literature.
The programme includes:
- concerts and themed musical journeys
- literary events and in-depth discussion cycles
- participatory formats that renew the Lyceum’s cultural tradition from a contemporary perspective
The initiative is part of the activities of the Lyceum’s various sections and offers events open to the public, conceived as opportunities for cultural enrichment and active participation.
The meetings take place at the historic Palazzo Adami Lami (Lungarno Guicciardini 17, Florence) and are open to the public by reservation, subject to availability.
A Shared Cultural Commitment
Centrica’s involvement in the programme of the Lyceum Club Internazionale di Firenze is rooted in a vision that recognises culture and literature as essential tools for growth, education, and dialogue.
Supporting initiatives that foster participation and offer high-quality content means contributing to a vibrant, shared, and contemporary cultural experience.
This page will be updated over the coming weeks with new events from the programme.

I delitti di Casa Medici
Thursday, 12 February 2026 – 5:00 pm

The second event in the series dedicated to the crime fiction genre, this meeting explores the history of Medici Florence through court intrigues, suspicious deaths, and historically documented mysteries.
Antonella Bausi, joined by Professor Emeritus of Toxicology Piero Dolara, recounts the crimes that marked the House of Medici – amid arsenic, passion, and power – in a dialogue between history and science.
The event continues a participatory journey that will culminate in May with a radio crime drama inspired by Ellery Queen.
Afternoon Tea in collaboration with the I.P.S.S.E.O.A. “Aurelio Saffi” of Florence.
