Renaissance was born in Italy, in Florence and the collection of Renaissance paintings in the Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important in the world. The Uffizi Gallery is the third most visited museum in Italy as per the number of visitors from all over the world. Many tourists to our city come halfway around the world to visit “at least” this gem !!

• During this tour, we will consider some of the most important masterpieces of this museum. The Uffizi Gallery is probably the only museum that hosts many works that were realized by the artists (centuries before) not far at all from where we now see them.

• The eyes and the hands of those artists found inspiration for their works watching the same things, the same buildings, the same streets, and the same sky that you can look at even now when you are in Florence. Obviously, we can not enter a place like the Uffizi Gallery without first talking about “who” needed this new building in Florence, “why” someone wanted it (the Uffizi wasn't born to be a museum !) and “who” built it.

• In other words, we will also know more about the Medici family. Some of the artists whose works we will see on the tour will be Giotto, Simone Martini, Gentile da Fabriano, Masaccio, Filippo Lippi (one of the teachers of Botticelli), Filippino Lippi (one of the students of Botticelli), Piero Della Francesca, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Bronzino, Vasari, etc.
