Overview of your Florence tour
You can't visit Florence without looking at the sculpture masterpiece : the original David by Michelangelo on display here since 1873 and since 1909 his four Prisoners and other statues have joined him. I would like to take you for a short walk to show you places so important to Michelangelo when he started off his art in Florence, protected by Lorenzo De Medici. Walking inside the Academia should be a revealing experience as this museum was founded in 1784 by Pietro Leopoldo, Gran duke of Tuscany as an Academy of the Arts. Artists have always learnt from other artists, so we have the chance to look at a number of Florentine paintings dates 1400-1500 so influential to Michelangelo and others after him like Giambologna and Lorenzo Bartolini. On the upper floor a special collection of fifty musical instruments of the Conservatory Luigi Cherubini located nearby that was the private collection of Gran duke of Florence dated 16th and 17th cent.
