Your private discovery tour starts in the lively Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with the beautiful Dominican church of the same name (interior*), where you can appreciate great masterpieces such as Brunelleschi's Crucifix, and Masaccio's Trinity. You will then proceed through the characteristic little square of the Croce al Trebbio and along elegant Via Tornabuoni to reach Palazzo Strozzi.
A little further on you come to Palazzo Davanzati and the 14th century Palagio di Parte Guelfa by Brunelleschi. Shortly afterwards you reach the Ponte Vecchio, the "Jewelers' Bridge", one of the symbols of Florence;. You will then pass through the Piazzale degli Uffizi to enter Piazza della Signoria, a splendid "open-air sculpture museum", overlooked by the famous and imposing Palazzo Vecchio.
The tour continues through the heart of the Medieval city to Dante Alighieri's house and church, and on to the Cathedral Complex, where your tour ends. |
