Amongst many events dedicated to Dante, in 2021 Bargello will display a special exhibition from 23rd March to 25th July. However my tour can start at any time to walk around the city and recall places where the supreme Italian poet lived during harsh times of violent riots and struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines. It was the first civil palace in Florence, its typical medieval features, despite the modifications taken in the years, looks like a castle with its fortified tower that attracts visitors attention even just from the outside. Inside here in 1302 Dante was condemned to perpetual exile and still inside here in 1840 the oldest Dante's portray came to light. We then continue walking to narrow alleys where Dante mostly likely hanged around with friends, lovers and enemies. In 1865, on the 6th centenary of Dante's birth, it opened one the richest museums in town, collection range from 13th-16th cent sculptures, Renaissance masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Ammannati, Cellini and many more.
- Starting point Bargello palace, option to enter and admire the beautiful Lodge and Courtyard and selected rooms - Badia Fiorentina church visit, where Dante's 'Divina Commedia' was read to public - Walking beyond old city walls imagine what Dante must have seen - Santa Croce Square.
