Crime, Cruelty and Care Private Tour in Florence

My half-day private city tour delves into the existence (and otherwise) of human rights in the past, looking at how this city was a beacon for modern politics. I'll begin with a visit to the world famous children's Ospedale degli Innocenti, a symbol of Renaissance architecture begun by Brunelleschi in 1419, on Piazza Santissima Annunziata. This is such an emblematic hospital, in a city devoted to commerce and money, yet also capable of great generosity. Florence was way ahead of its time in conceiving charity, beauty and education combined. I'd like to continue our tour by going towards the world's oldest, still-functioning hospital, Santa Maria Nuova, where Leonardo performed his dissections. We'll then weave our way past the religious centre, including the small Bigallo Museum which used to collect abandoned children, and on towards the ex-prison of the Bargello.
