A human size city where it s easy to figure out the past life of once and where nowadays people live in a close contact with the masterpieces of art.
Names like Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli resound in the streets of Florence.
Visiting the city you ll have the sensation to be completely rounded by the warm polychrome colours of its marbles and its magnificent sculptures that decorate the squares seem to welcome you unexpectedly.
The city where painting and architecture find their maximum expression.
Rich in characteristic sites as The old bridge dated XIV cent. where since the 500 goldsmiths opened their little shops; rich in museums as the Uffizzi Gallery, built in 1574 and once office of the Medicea administration, today it houses the works of Leonardo, Botticelli, Raphael etc. or as the Academy, where we can admire the most beautiful and perfect work of Michelangelo the David.
Its Signoria Square, ancient and actual political centre with the background of the magnificent Loggia of the Lanzi which is a portico built in the 300 single shelter for wonderful and important statues as the Perseus of Benvenuto Cellini.
We could define this city an open air museum which offers to us in all its beauty.
But not only the art makes of Florence one of the most unique and beautiful city in the world, the Tuscan countryside, the hills of the Arno valley that encircle the city, the little villages where to taste the tuscan cuisine and the excellent Chianti wine contribute in making of this visit one of the nicest memories of your trip.
