Overview of your Florence tour:

This is one of my favourite places in town; it's where the Renaissance began! Unlike your average visit, this itinerary I created for you is filled with intriguing tales of Florence's history, from its Republican Golden Age to the power of Medici tyranny, all weaved with the beauty of the architecture! Come and discover the San Lorenzo Basilica complex. Enjoy an exclusive tour of the Basilica with its Old Sacristy, designed by Brunelleschi. Then step inside the Medici Chapels and the New Sacristy, a captivating space where Michelangelo fused sculpture and architecture. Let me tell you all about the principles and origins of Renaissance architecture and its development, from the rediscovery of the ancient world to the revolutionary designs that shook Renaissance harmony. Discover how a treatise of a pagan ancient Roman architect became the inspiration for church architecture. Hear the tale of how Michelangelo's incredible talent saved his neck and why he later fled from Florence never to come back alive!
