From Rome
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 where you can visit the Galleria dell’Accademia where the original David by Michelangelo is kept, together with the Third “Pietà” and the Prisoners, also by Michelangelo.
You 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, you walk to Piazza della Signoria with the Palazzo Vecchio.
After we will go to Piazza Santa Croce 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”.
We will continue on the Viale dei Colli to reach Piazzale Michelangelo, where a copy of the David stands.
From the square you will enjoy the huge view of the city below, with the famous Ponte Vecchio.
