Florence, the Medici and the Renaissance

Story of a dinasty.

The Medici ruled Florence for about 300 years, becoming one of the most powerful families in Italy. Like any powerful, they were not loved by everyone… Ambition, intrigues, crimes, betrayals characterize their story. But at the time they had a real passion for art and, sponsoring many famous artists, made Florence a capital of culture.

On this tour we will recall the story of the Medici family, visiting the places related to them, including their mausoleum, the Medici Chapels. Here we will admire the stunning Chapel of the Princes and Michelangelo’s New Sacristy.
