Florence has been, and continues to be, one of the world’s great artistic cities throughout the centuries, and that magnificent heritage can be appreciated at every step inside the Gallery of the Academy. This museum, world-famous for housing Michelangelo’s David, has become an essential visit for any traveller wishing to immerse themselves in the greatness of the Italian Renaissance.
Taking a guided tour of the Gallery of the Academy is much more than walking through corridors filled with sculptures: it is exploring Michelangelo’s artistic evolution, approaching his sculptural technique, and engaging in a dialogue with works that still move us today with their power and perfection.
