Itinerary
1
Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
Hear about the "impossible" dome and it's construction as well as the bell tower and facade of the most famous structure in Florence and look up at a dome that stood roofless for decades because no one alive knew how to build it

Piazza del Duomo
Notice why this bell tower stands apart from its cathedral — a design choice that reveals something about Italian tradition and hear about how Giotto's work kicked off the Renaissance

Church and Museum of Orsanmichele
Search the niches of a former grain market where rival guilds waged a quiet war through sculpture.

Rub a boar's snout for luck, then find the marble circle where bankrupt merchants suffered a very public punishment

Hear about a monk who seized power, a fountain that was ridiculed, admire the large open air gallery of sculptures and pay homage at the copy of Michelangelo's David.
20 minutes
6
Uffizi
Take in the courtyard which lined with statues of Florence’s legends and hear how the Uffizi eveolved
7
Ponte Vecchio
Cross the only bridge Hitler's forces refused to destroy — and ask why butchers were banished to make way for goldsmiths
10 minutes
8
The Baptistery of St. John
Pause at the doors Michelangelo supposedly compared to the entrance of Paradise — then spot the trick that made them revolutionary.

Palazzo Vecchio

Palazzo Pitti
End in front of the palace built to outdo the Medici that the Medici themselves eventually claimed as home
