Overview

The Medici family in Florence governed the fate of the city for almost three hundred years. They were bankers and patrons who made the genius of Botticelli, Brunelleschi, Michelangelo and many other Renaissance artists flourish. Their extraordinary collections of paintings, sculpture, jewellery, books, manuscripts and curious objects can still be found in Florence today. During our 3-hour tour we will visit the Palazzo Medici, symbol of the political and cultural power of the Medici, with its enormous rooms that will take us back to the noble life of the Renaissance. The Chapel of the Magi, inside the palace, will take us by surprise with a "wow effect"! We will then see the burial place of the Medici family, namely the Medici Chapels, with the New Sacristy, the work of Michelangelo, the Chapel of the Princes, studded with Florentine mosaic in semi-precious stones, and the solemn Crypt, where the members of the Medici family are buried .
