In the footsteps of the Medici
Tour description
You have surely heard of the Medici family , noble Florentine bankers. In this tour I want to tell you about their life, their successes, but also their misfortunes.
We will start from their first house, Palazzo Medici Riccardi, a masterpiece of the Renaissance where we will meet Cosimo the elder , also called pater patriae (father of the homeland).
We will then go to meet Lorenzo the Magnificent and we will stop or talk about him in the very place where he lost his brother, and risked dying: Piazza del Duomo.
After meeting Lorenzo, we will move to Piazza della Signoria , dedicated to Cosimo I. The first Grand Duke of Tuscany. A decidedly bizarre character, but also very smart.
Cosimo I will also accompany us on the old bridge , the most beautiful bridge in Florence, in Italy and I dare to venture, in the world.
We will conclude our visit in front of Palazzo Pitti where the last member of the Medici family dies, but also the place where the "family pact" is written by the hand of a fantastic woman.
The Medici have always been fascinated, and believe me, after this visit you will be in love with them!
