Overview of your Florence tour:

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!

Your Florence tour itinerary

-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.
