Have you ever heard about the Devil's nails? Have you seen the the snakes on the Tower of Pisa? Do you know what this inscription means? +ɱVɦVʌV +ɱVɦVʌV +ɱVɦVʌV Find it out with the help of the author of the book "Pisa Red Blood", your local guide (me!) The city of Pisa is full of old stories, legends and hidden secrets. The Square of Miracle was projected to be a cosmic clock and the Tower reveals many symbols that could be carved by alchemists. Did you know that the first day of the year in Pisa is on the 25th of March? Guess why! The old town hosts hidden corners, visited just by locals, with beautiful churches full of mysteries and haunted houses. This is probably the reason why Mary Shelley spent several days in our city. Pisa is also a city of scientists, such as Leonardo Fibonacci, Galileo Galilei, Antonio Pacinotti (inventor of the dynamo), Enrico Fermi (atomic discoveries) and Guglielmo Marconi (Radio frequencies). This tour will let you know them better.
Here is our itinerary. 1. We will enter the Campo Santo, the monumental cemetery, to visit the grave of the scientist who inspired Frankenstein. We will see how the world appeared before the discovery of America thanks to the frescoes by Piero di Puccio (Cosmography) and we will discover the mysterious stories related to the fresco of the Triumph of Death. 2. We will enter the Cathedral to admire the grandiose golden ceiling, the alleged painting by Leonardo da Vinci and above all the chandelier of Galileo Galilei. 4. The Tower of Pisa will tell us about Galileo's experiments. 5. After a short walk we will arrive in front of Palazzo Boileau, to hear curious ghost stories. 6. In front of the Muda tower, known as 'The hunger', we will discover the atrocious stories of Count Ugolino, accused of having eaten his own family. 7. The church of San Frediano will reveal a mysterious inscription. Our tour will end with a good glass of red wine (or juice for the kids). Any special requests? Please ask me for a quote!
