Next of Kin Contact details

Would you like us to keep your next of kin details in the office, so that we can contact them in the event of an emergency?
If you wish please email or bring a list of telephone numbers, emails and any other information you feel might be helpful, and we will keep it on file in the office.
This information will be held in the confidence and used only in the event of an emergency.

2014 Outreach Donations

Do you know of an Onlus (non profit organization) in Tuscany that would benefit from St James support?
We need your suggestions for local outreach donations to be made in 2014. There are so many wonderful organizations in the Province of Florence, run primarily by volunteers, which actively help the community. This is an opportunity for St. James to help them in their work.
The deadline for submissions is September 30.
Please contact Barbara Maraventano at b.maraventano@gmail.com or Jocelyn Fitzgerald at jocelyn.f@tiscalinet.it.

A springtime show featuring drawings and paintings by the American artist
Jackson Pollock, the undoubted master of action painting, comes to Florence for a virtual comparison with Renaissance genius, Michelangelo Buonarroti. The exhibition in question, entitled
La figura della furia [The figure of fury], which, inspired by the studies of the American painter during his youth and by his interest in Michelangelo's work, offers a comparison between styles, subjects, stories and very different worlds.
Pollock's shapelessness mirrors Michelangelo's unfinished work, the Renaissance with its classical Florentine and Italian form is painted in perfect contrast with the American's artist anti-form.
