Overview of your Florence tour:

"You cannot serve God and money", the Gospels say. Nevertheless, money can serve beauty, and when beauty celebrates God, it can even wash some sins away. Money cannot buy immortality, but it can save from oblivion, and it may be a good investment in the Kingdom of Heaven. A stroll through the history, through the palaces and chapels of the banking families where the Renaissance artists had sanctified human beings and humanized saints. The Medici, the Sassetti, and the Strozzi will tell you the stories of their great families that contributed to making Florence great.
