About this experience
In Florence, the spirit of tenderness, inspiration, dreaminess, and adventure is in the air. Throughout the ages, it has been the arena for romantic intrigues - both happy and tragic. I will share love stories of the Medici dynasty and other famous townspeople. I will show you the places associated with them and help you discover the city in a new light.
What to expect
We will walk around the Medici and Pitti palaces, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Old Bridge, and ancient Christian churches: St. Margaret's, Holy Trinity, and All Saints. These are the places where the events I will speak about took place. You will learn:
- How Italian King Victor Emmanuel Savoy cleverly got married
- Which love story ended in murder and sparked a civil war in Florence
- Who gave birth to an illegitimate son, Julian
- Who are known as the 'Florentine Romeo and Juliet'
- How the love story of Cosimo I de' Medici and Eleanora of Toledo unfolded
And other interesting facts!
Organizational details
Entrance to churches is free. Optionally, we can visit them.
