The sixth edition of the Biennale Internazionale dell'arte Contemporanea di Firenze took place from 1 to 9 December 2007 in the historic fort Fortezza da Basso. A beautiful fortress in the Renaissance style and an ideal place worthy of the name for this prestigious event, a few steps away from the city centre in Florence. The fortress is built in 1534 by Antonio da Sangallo, born 12 april 1484 in Florence, and died 3 August 1546 in Rome, who was one of the great Italian architects of the Renaissance. He began 1514 Palazzo Farnese in Rome, which is his most famous works. During the 1540's, he was the main architect for the construction of St. Peter's Cathedral. He presented some bold plans for its design, but these were abandoned by his successor, Michelangelo. Now, the fortress is the main exhibition area in the city of Florence. The Biennale is being held in the Spadolini Hall, which was built in 1970 by the architect of the same name, Spadolini, and covers a total area of 11000m2.       There were 840 artists from 76 countries showing more than 2500 art pieces during the nine days the Biennale was held. Many meetings between artists from different cultures, styles and languages met the visitors and exhibitors when entering the exhibition.       These Swedes were in place 2007: Birgitta Bengtson, Ingalill Björnsdotter, Marina Boytsova, Danish Saroee, Anita Elgerot, Peter Gadh, Fateme Gosheh, Sietze Groenewold, Birgitta Halldin, Georgianna Kralli, Roy Lawaetz, Gun Mattsson, Kerstin Mowafi, Marita Nilsson, Ann Nyberg, Gunilla Oldenburg, Erica Rönnbäck, Leena Maija Trapp, Gisela Kypar Wåhlström & Heidemarie Z-Carnelid.       The American actress Anne Archer was in place during the Biennale in Florence to award the Biennale with the Artists for Human Rights, association prize, for its support provided to the United Nations programme “Dialogue among civilisation” that the Biennale has been officially participating in since 2001.       Gilbert & George was awarded the "Lorenzo il Magnifico" for their career. The artists were in place during the week for meetings with artists from all over the world.       The Ars Electronica Center of Linz, the “oldest” museum of digital art in the world, that organises the Prix Ars Electronica, the Ars Electronica Festival and the Ars Electronica Futurelab, had 300 square meters available to present digital art, interactive videos and to allow visitors to enter into the fantastic world of virtual reality. This was a very appreciated part of the Biennale.       During the nine days of the Biennale the schedule was rich of meetings, conferences, video shows, and other events. One to mention that was highly appreciated, is the lecture that Gregorio Luke held on Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti.
