Stitch meets David: Disney magic at Florence's Accademia Gallery.


At the Accademia Gallery in Florence, the alien Stitch meets Michelangelo's David: a video and sculpture to mark the release of the new Disney film Lilo & Stitch.

On the occasion of the release of the new film Lilo & Stitch, the Accademia Gallery in Florence enthusiastically accepted Disney ’s proposal to create a video set among its famous halls. In the video, the lively Stitch lands in Florence aboard a spaceship, bursting into the museum and wreaking havoc among artworks and visitors. But everything changes when he is suddenly spellbound by the Renaissance masterpiece-Michelangelo’s David.

Profoundly struck by the sculpture’s beauty and expressive power, Stitch transforms himself from an unruly visitor to an inspired artist, resulting in his own artistic creation. And this very sculpture - created exclusively for the event - will be exceptionally displayed inside the Accademia Gallery until June 20, 2025.

The initiative, promoted by Disney Italia and realized with the support of the Ministry of Culture, aims to bring a wide and intergenerational audience closer to the discovery of Italy’s artistic heritage through a current visual language in a fun and engaging way.
