You can choose to enrich your visit with a Tuscan lunch in a historic Florentine Restaurant.Start you tour with a visit to the Accademia Gallery. The visit consists in a total immersion in the art of Michelangelo, as you will see his most renowned work, such as the David, I Prigioni, San Matteo and the Palestrina Pietà .
The young Michelangelo carved the David from a huge block of rough marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the renaissance model.
He depicted a magnificent nude young man at the height of his physical vigour, whose intense expression of strength and courage, which originated from an absolute faith in God, roses as a symbol of power and invincibility of the Florentine Republic at the time of its maximum splendour.
Before to start your Uffizi Gallery visit in the afternoon, enjoy some free time for lunch (own expense) or choose to enrich your visit experience with a delicious Tuscan Lunch with Drinks in a historic Restaurant of the old town, escorted by an assistant.
In the afternoon head towards the Uffizi Gallery: you can't leave Florence without visiting one of the most famous art galleries in the world.
Here you can admire numerous works of art by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Giotto, Cimabue, Masaccio and many others.
Among the precious exhibition halls of the Gallery, the most renowned one contains the refined works by Botticelli, amongst which the absolute masterpieces: "Primavera" and "Birth of Venus". The latter painting, the icon of the museum, represents the allegory of the birth of the goddess emerging from the sea foam and symbolizes the ideal of beauty as an expression of purity and spiritual quality, typical of the Renaissance Neoplatonic aesthetics.
