Review:
Step into the birthplace of the Renaissance, the city of Florence, and experience the best of one of the world’s most influential art movements. The city is certainly one of the most popular cities in Italy to visit amongst art buffs and budding aficionados.
See magnificent liturgical treasures like Ghiberti’s Porta del Paradiso or Michelangelo’s La Pieta at the impressive Grand Museo del Duomo. More of Michelangelo’s works and those of Donatello as well can be admired and viewed at the Museo Del Bargello. This museum is also notable for safeguarding the most comprehensive collection of Tuscan Renaissance sculptures in the country.
At the Museo di San Marco, on the other hand, tourists can explore one of the city’s most spiritually uplifting collection of works and devotional frescoes. Step into the massive Renaissance palace of Palazzo Pitti, which was built in 1457, and enjoy the magnificent construction of the building. There is also a silver museum housed within its walls that is very much worth a visit. One simply cannot explore Florence and miss out on its most iconic landmark, the Duomo. Take in its beautiful facade of white, pink, and green marble and stand in wonder at the frescoes and glorious stained glass windows.
