tour semiprivato Firenze, la rivalità tra Michelangelo e Leonardo
Vuoi vivere il Rinascimento oltre i famosi dipinti?
Questo tour unico mette in luce la ricca storia di Firenze attraverso la lente dei suoi due più grandi geni artistici, il cui spirito competitivo li spinse a creare alcuni dei capolavori più celebri al mondo.
Ascolterai storie sulle loro personalità contrastanti e sulle loro tecniche personali, scoprendo il contesto politico e culturale della Firenze rinascimentale, per comprendere più a fondo l’innovazione e il fervore artistico di quell’epoca.
Visiteremo anche la splendida Basilica di Santo Spirito per ammirare uno dei capolavori più incredibili — e sorprendentemente poco conosciuti — di un giovanissimo Michelangelo: **il Crocifisso ligneo**. L’opera fu realizzata come ringraziamento al priore che gli permise di studiare anatomia, aprendo la strada alla sua profonda conoscenza della forma umana.
Immergiti nella cultura autentica della città attraverso l’arte, i racconti e consigli speciali sui luoghi preferiti della tua guida.
