After breakfast at the hotel. Make your own way to the corner between Via Ricasoli and Piazza San Marco, in front of the loggia of Accademia delle Belle Arti. An assistant waits for you wearing blue clothing with Gray Line logos, where you’l meet your guide and begin your experience.
Today’s visit is a full immersion into Michelangelo’s genius — and the discovery of his most celebrated masterpiece, the David, together with other important works such as the Prigioni, San Matteo, and the Palestrina Pietà. The young Michelangelo sculpted the David from a single, enormous block of raw marble in just three years, shaping an extraordinary figure of absolute beauty. This magnificent nude, captured at the height of physical strength and vitality, became an icon of Renaissance perfection. The intense expression of power and courage reflected the spirit of the Florentine Republic at its peak, symbol of invincibility and faith.
At the end of the guided visit, you are welcome to remain inside the Gallery and continue exploring at your own pace.
Rest of the day at leisure.
