In addition to the splendid days and nights at the villa, we will take three excursions by motorcoach. Our first stop will be Florence, capital of Tuscany and seat of the Renaissance. On a walking tour of Florence we will see the famous Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace and Santa Maria del Fiore, the Duomo of Florence with Brunelleschi’s dome and Giotto’s tower. We will also visit the medieval city of Siena.Florence
We will spend a morning at the Uffizi Gallery where we will be guided through the most important rooms and taught about the progression of Italian art from the 12th century to the 16th century. After a leisurely lunch at any of Florence’s great restaurants we are free to explore the great shopping treasures of this wonderful city, which include leather goods, jewelry and clothing found nowhere else in the world. In the afternoon we may visit the Bargello, national sculpture museum, or the Davanzati Palace, a perfectly preserved nobleman’s home from the 15th century.
