Itinerary

1. Cappelle Medicee
Your journey into Florence’s haunted history begins in Piazza di Madonna degli Aldobrandini. Your guide will be waiting for you in front of the Cappelle Medicee.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Via Faenza
Enjoy a delicious break at a local prosciutteria. Sip a glass of Tuscan wine and sample a tasting board of traditional specialties, with vegetarian options available, while soaking in the atmosphere of this timeless city.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Piazza Del Duomo
Standing beneath the towering Cupola del Brunelleschi, you’ll uncover the hidden side of Florence’s most iconic landmark. More than an architectural miracle, the dome is believed to be a cosmic machine, rich in esoteric and alchemical symbolism. Built without scaffolding, guided by secret geometry and proportions tied to the divine, it has long been whispered that Brunelleschi was not only an architect — but an initiate of occult knowledge. Some say the dome’s eight ribs echo the path of spiritual rebirth; others believe it hides encrypted messages, sigils, and stellar alignments. As twilight deepens over Piazza del Duomo, you’ll never look at it the same way again.
Duration: 15 mins
4. Via del Proconsolo
In this narrow Florentine street once frequented by apothecaries, you’ll hear the chilling tale of Antonia da Castello, a young herbalist accused of witchcraft in 1481. She was said to prepare unguenti del Diavolo — devil’s ointments — potent salves whispered to allow flight, summon spirits, or steal the soul of a sleeping man. Arrested by the Inquisition, Antonia confessed under torture to nighttime rituals, strange visions, and speaking with shadows. But some say her knowledge was ancient, not evil — passed down from wise women before her. As we walk past the old prison walls, her fate becomes a haunting echo of Florence’s obsession with control, purity… and fear of feminine power.
Duration: 15 mins
5. Piazza della Signoria
Visit Piazza della Signoria and uncover the dramatic story of Girolamo Savonarola, the fiery Dominican friar who challenged the power, luxury, and corruption of Renaissance Florence. In the very square where he once preached to the crowds, learn how his rise and fall left a lasting mark on the city’s history.
Duration: 15 mins
6. Via della Condotta
End the experience with a sweeter note with a traditional tasting of cantucci and Vin Santo, a classic Tuscan pairing that offers the perfect final contrast to the city’s darker history.
Duration: 30 mins
