About this experience
It is a well-known fact that Italy is the center of fashion. But why is it so? I will tell you about the events that explain this phenomenon, guide you through the museums of world designers, and reveal the past of the 'Old Bridge'. The delight of what you will hear, the admiration of what you will see, and the desire to return to Florence will stay with you until the end and long after the walk!
What to Expect
A Date with the Past
You will walk across one of the oldest bridges in Europe. Discover why it was called 'Golden' and how its function has changed over time. Admire the jewelry in the shop windows and, if desired, acquire a precious souvenir as a reminder of the stroll on the Ponte Vecchio.
Through couture museums
Getting to know the work of key figures in the history of fashion is an essential part of any journey through Italy. Immerse yourself in the process of creating masterpieces from fashion maestros, learn about the trends that are back in style, and how iconic branded items come to life. The tour will include:
- Gucci Museum - it can be compared to Mecca for those who worship fashion. You will trace the evolution of Gucci costumes from the 19th century and which trends from the past are currently trendy.
- Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, located in a 14th-century building. You will learn how the great master achieved success, where he studied, and which Hollywood stars were his clients.
- Medici family jewelry museum. Who introduced forks to Europe? Who popularized platform shoes and high hairstyles? Here you will find the answers and appreciate the impressive silver collection of the dynasty.
If you wish, you can stroll through the Boboli Gardens - the finest park ensemble of the Italian Renaissance. Here you will find the Pitti Palace, fountains, 4.5 hectares of luxurious landscaped compositions, and a magnificent view of Florence.
