Evening tour of the Academy Gallery

We will start our one-and-a-half hour tour in Via Ricasoli in front of the Accademia Gallery. There you will be enchanted by the beauty of Michelangelo's David and you will observe in the center of the Hall of Colossus "The Rape of the Sabine Women"; great model for the famous marble group by Flemish artist Jean de Boulogne. You will also learn about the sculptural technique of the "unfinished" in Michelangelo's "Prisons". You will also see "Il Cassone Adimari", the little-known painted panel represents the front part of a 15th-century nuptial chest attributed to Lo Scheggia: Masaccio's younger brother. You will see "The Tree of Life" by Pacino di Buonaguida and the "Madonna and Child, St. John and two Angels" by Botticelli. Lastly, but no less important you will also have the opportunity to discover the hall of Musical instruments : about fifty musical instruments from the private collections of the grand dukes of Tuscany. Tour not available on January 1, December 25, every Monday.
