Are you curious about the Medici family? What was their role in the birth of modern banking system? Why are they considered patrons of Renaissance? How could a family of money-lenders get to the Holy Seat? I've studied Modern History in college and I never get tired of learning about this family. The Pazzi plot, the Medici popes, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Machiavelli, Galileo, the Protestant Reformation. . . they are pieces of the same puzzle. Let me weave together all this for you, showing you the sites significant to them: a convent, a church, their tombs, and two of their houses. It's going to be a full immersion into history! And if you have watched the TV show. . . well, it was not all the truth! I'll be happy to point out differences and real facts!
-Medici Palace: it was was the first residence of the family and houses the Magi Chapel by Benozzo Gozzoli, which perfectly portrays the members of the House. -San Lorenzo Church: designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, it's the burial place of part of the Medici. -Palazzo Vecchio: originally the Public Palace of Florence, it was converted into the Medici house by Cosimo I in 1537. -Medici Chapels: we can admire the New Sacristy designed by Michelangelo and the tombs of the Grand Dukes. If you have any special interests or wishes, I will be happy to customise this tour for you! Send me an email if you want to take this tour on Tuesday or Wednesday, when Medici Chapels and Medici Palace are closed. We can arrange a different tour together!
