Private Tour of San Matteo National Museum

How many times did you find yourself wandering around a museum trying to understand what's the fuss about it? I experienced that feeling many times, that's why I think a private guide is a must. Those beautiful pictures belong to a culture that is so close and so far from us, and that's why you need someone to help you see what's "behind the scenes". I offer a selection of masterpieces that has been designed with a down-to-earth approach to art to be enjoyable and understandable. Pisa was one of the most cosmopolitan European cities. For longtime Pisa was a very important ally of the Byzantine Empire, so many Byzantine painters settled around here to scape turmoil and violence. They brought with them the secrets of gold painting, and so the tuscan branch of byzantine art was born. Their members will soon create a style of their own, which will be improved by local schools, like the elegant Sienese style, or the pulp realism of Florence. Together we'll explore the secrets of this museum. Come join me!
