Look for Galileo among the statues of the Loggiato degli Uffizi!

You will visit the Galilei Museum, housed in a twelfth-century building, which focuses on Renaissance science and the periods immediately following it, right up to the nineteenth century: the heart of the exhibition is in fact centered on the Medici collections, which the grand dukes once housed in the museum of Specola near Palazzo Pitti. Your guide will show you the original Galilean, the two telescopes and the objective lens of the telescope, thanks to which the great Pisan could observe and identify the famous satellites of Jupiter.

Discover the tormented story of the burial of the great Tuscan scientist, and see the tomb in the Basilica of Santa Croce which lies near that of Michelangelo. What a strange connection between history's most famous artist and greatest scientist!
