After a short panoramic tour of its northern part, we will
leave Rome, by the “Sun Route” motorway, crossing the
regions Lazio and Umbria, to reach our destination:
Florence. City of Etruscan- Roman origins, it flourished
in the Middle Ages as a free commune. Furtherly refined by
the Renaissance Art and enriched by the Medici rule,
Florence is the cradle of Italian language. We will arrive
in the heart of the city to visit the Galleria
dell’Accademia, where the original David by
Michelangelo is kept, together with the Third “Pietà” and
the Prisons, also by Michelangelo (for technical reasons
this visit could be replaced with a visit of the Opera del
Duomo). We will then proceed to the Cathedral of Santa
Maria del Fiore, with the magnificent dome projected by
Brunelleschi, the Baptistry with the golden bronze
doors by Ghiberti and Giotto’s Belfry. From here, we
walk to Piazza della Signoria with the Palazzo
Vecchio, Florence’s Town Hall, the Loggia dei Lanzi with
the Perseus by Cellini and the Fountain of Neptune. After
lunch, we will go to Piazza Santa Croce. Free time at
disposal to visit the church of Santa Croce (with the graves
of Michelangelo, Galileo, Rossini, Machiavelli) or to go
into some typical shops, such as the ancient “School of
Leather”. Departure for Rome and arrival at 9.00 pm aprox.
