Mornings in Florence
Mornings in Florence
The Bargello Museum and the Basilica of Santa Croce. The poetic fury of Michelangelo, the oddities of Donatello, the proud Republic of Florence and the humility of St. Francis of Assisi. But also the excessive power of the Church of Rome and the end of “Florentina Libertas” by the more despotic generations of the Medici family. Passing through the genius of Dante Alighieri, Giotto, Filippo Brunelleschi, Galileo Galilei, and more great artists, poets, musicians and writers. Like those of John Ruskin, who wrote his fascinating guide "Mornings in Florence" at the end of the nineteenth century, ours will be a walk to admire the most significant (and lesser known) works of the Florentine fifteenth century gold season.
We will conclude the experience with a visit to the Leather School of Santa Croce, one of the most prestigious institutions that carry on the ancient tradition of Florentine leather processing
