About this experience
I invite you to look at Florence from an unusual perspective and get to know its secret societies, monastic orders, and medieval sects. A symbolic view of the cathedral and Giotto's bell tower, a hermetic reading of the 'quarters' of the Medici and Dante, the secret 'alchemy' of Palazzo Vecchio - together we will journey from the logic of historical events to the magic of this unique city with a special historical destiny.
What to expect
Besides the Florence everyone knows, there is another facet - hidden, inaccessible to the uninitiated, but ready to reveal its secrets to those 'having ears to hear.' The magic and alchemy of the Renaissance, secret knowledge in the cradle of the Renaissance - all these themes resonate in Florence like nowhere else. Understanding these questions will not be easy, but I will gladly help you!
On our journey, we will:
- Uncover the mysteries of the ancient Sol Invictus cult on the square of Santa Maria Novella.
- Discuss the 'holy' inquisition and the great heresy, Jung's archetypes and the wisdom of Ancient Egypt at the origins of human knowledge
- Explore that obelisks are not only urban planning elements but also cultic solar signs, and the well-known Dante Alighieri was not only a poet but also a mystic
- Try to understand the functioning of ancient instruments: the armillary sphere, sundials, and the two gnomonic apertures of the rose window facade
- Talk about the important role of the basilica of Santa Maria Novella in astronomy
- Remember the Masons in Florence on the square of Santa Trinita
- Continue the study of the initiatic and alchemical path depicted in the breathtaking frescoes of the Sassetti chapel in the church of the same name
