Tours

Some people come to Florence to see at least the Michelangelo's David in the Accademia Gallery. Certainly, this museum is the home of the David, a finished masterpiece, but to understand Michelangelo's technique is necessary to look at what he left unfinished: The Prisoners!

During 1800 was still alive the memory of what was written centuries before: the presence in the Chapel of the Bargello Palace (a medieval Palace) of one of the first portraits of Dante Alighieri (the father of the Italian language) painted by Giotto and his workshop. Well, the discovery of Dante's portrait (a few square inches on a large wall !!) was the motivation for the total restoration of the building which in 1865 became the first national museum... the Bargello Museum.

One of my teachers told us during the course of study: “ The Uffizi is not a large museum but a great museum “. She (Prof. Maria Grazia Zatti) was right!  The responsibility I feel every time during this private tour of the Uffizi Gallery is huge, always, but the opportunity to talk about masterpieces of western art is one of the most beautiful things for those who make my job.
