You will meet your guide in Piazza San Marco, starting the tour at the symbol of the Renaissance and the Florentine Republic, the Statue "David".
With your guide you will discover the history of the "Giant" and what makes this sculpture a masterpiece of the Renaissance. However, there are other works of art by Michelangelo that deserve our admiration.
After this important introduction to the master of the Renaissance, your guide will take you to Piazza San Lorenzo, a typical Tuscan market that Florentines love. Here, Michelangelo showed his artistic genius in architecture, creating the Laurentian Library and the Medici Chapels in Florence.
From the Medici quarter you will continue to the National Museum of Bargello, that houses four works of art that confirm again the artistic perfection of the great Michelangelo. Since a lot is spoken about the complicated life of the artist, a guided visit to Buonarroti House, in the Quarter of Santa Croce in Florence, cannot be excluded. Here are housed the first two creations of the young Michelangelo, the "Madonna of the Stairs" and "The Battle of the Centaurs".
You will end your tour in the same Quarter, Santa Croce in Florence, to discover Michelangelo's Tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce. After his death in Rome, his body was taken and brought to Florence by his nephew. After more than 400 years, the name of Michelangelo resonates in memories.
