As a tourist guide in Florence, I would definitely suggest anyone a special guided tour in Florence focused on Michelangelo's personality reflected in his works of art.

We will meet in Piazza San Marco, but we will start our tour right from the symbol of the Renaissance and the Florentine Republic, the "David". With you guide in Florence you will discover the history of the "Giant" and what makes this sculpture a masterpiece of the Renaissance.

From the Medici quarter we will continue our itinerary in the life and art of Michelangelo with the National Museum of Bargello that houses four works of art that confirm again the artistic perfection of the great Michelangelo.

Here are housed the first two creations of the young Michelangelo, the "Madonna of the stairs" and "The Battle of the centaurs".

We will end our tour in the same Quarter, Santa Croce in Florence, to discover the Michelangelo's Tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce. After his death in Rome, his body was taken and brought to Florence by his nephew.

After more than 400 years, the name of Michelangelo resonates in our memories. I hope that one day we will tell our sons and nephews the story of his life and above all, we will remember Michelangelo's masterpieces in Florence. We will be proud to say: "I was there … at the Accademia Gallery of Fine Arts in Florence, at the Bargello Museum, at Buonarroti House, in Church Santa Croce …
