Description

Have you ever wondered how many stories Florence hides behind its palaces and squares? Our journey begins in Piazza San Lorenzo, the heart of the Medici city, but also home to fascinating secrets, including the mystery of the “stone-clad clothes.”

From there, we will walk past Palazzo Medici and Palazzo Pucci, uncovering the story behind its cursed window. Our path will then lead us to Santa Maria Nuova Hospital, where we will explore its underground tunnels.

But there’s more. We will continue to the arch of San Pierino, once home to the legendary “bishop’s wife,” and then venture into Borgo Albizi, surrounded by historic buildings such as the striking Palazzo dei Visacci.

We will stop in Piazza San Firenze (but does a saint by that name really exist?), walk along Via dei Gondi, and finally arrive at Piazza della Signoria, one of Florence’s most iconic locations.

Along the way, we will uncover incredible stories:

• Who was Monna Tessa, and what role did she play in Florence’s history?

• Where did the Mona Lisa live, and what do we know about her time in the city?

• What miracle made San Zanobi famous?

• What happened to the Pazzi family’s palaces after their failed conspiracy?

This tour will offer a new perspective on Florence, blending history, legends, and intriguing anecdotes. Are you ready to explore the city with fresh eyes?
