Your Private Guide will show one of the most
prestigious Museums of Sculptures in the world with masterpieces by the greatest Renaissance artists, among which, just to name a
few: the David and St. George by Donatello,
the Bacchus and the Round Pitti by Michelangelo, Mercury by Giambologna,
besides the magnificent glazed terra-cotta by Giovanni and Andrea della Robbia. The importance of this
museum concerning sculptures is comparable to the importance of the Uffizi
Museum for paintings. The splendid
fortified Bargello palace
was the first public Florentine building (1255). It has a beautiful and austere
courtyard and a high embattled tower, and owes its name to "bargello"
that means "master of the guards" who had their seat here in the
sixteenth century. Outside the building, it is still possible to see the hook
to which the rope used for hangings was tied.
Your visit experience will be further enriched with
the explanation of San Firenze square and the particular “Badia
Fiorentina” church (exterior visit),
a real hidden jewel of the city center, characterized by its hexagonal bell
tower.
