To mark the 40th anniversary of the inauguration of the Museo delle Porcellane in Palazzo Pitti, the Soprintendenza Speciale per il Patrimonio Storico, Artistico ed Etnoantropologico e per il Polo Museale della città di Firenze and the Associazione Amici di Doccia have organised an exhibition designed to highlight both the important collection in the Palazzo Pitti museum and the Doccia Manufactory's output during the Napoleonic occupation and the restoration of the House of Lorraine (1800-1830).

The exhibition comprises some one hundred and twenty works, mostly from the collections in Palazzo Pitti and from the Doccia Manufactory's Museo Richard-Ginori, but also from the leading Italian and French museums devoted to the art of porcelain and from several private collections.
