Vacation rentals in Pistoia

The tour I propose is a pleasant walking through the narrow streets, squares and bridges of the city of Florence, focused on the most powerful family of the Renaissance: the Medici. From the humble origins to the rise to the power, we will retrace places and protagonists between alliances, palace intrigues and betrayals; together we will discover curiosities and legends of this old dynasty that has seen Lords, Dukes, Grand Dukes, Popes and Queens, and we will also admire architectural and sculptural works of art related to the family. The tour will start from the Basilica of San Lorenzo, on the homonymous square, where it all began; we will cross the courtyard of Medici Riccardi Palace to reach Duomo Square where we will admire Brunelleschi's Dome, the Cathedral, the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower; we'll walk through Calzaiuoli street to reach "Piazza della Signoria" with Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi, another area linked to the Medici family, here we will discover how Florence grew under the Duchy and Grand Duchy of Tuscany admiring the path of the Vasari Corridor; we will cross Ponte Vecchio to conclude our tour at Palazzo Pitti, the last Medici residence and today a museum complex. Florence is a continuous surprise, in fact the idea is to make you visit it in an atmosphere of serenity and friendship; there will certainly be some recommendations for shopping and free time. It will be a pleasant walk in an atmosphere of serenity, during which we will discover the birth, power and finally the decadence of a family that for several centuries has made the city of Florence flourish, both from a historical / economic point of view and from an artistic / literary.

If you are looking for an out of the binaries experience to do something new and special, you are in the right place! I will be happy to make you experience the day-life of an artisan, bringing you inside a pottery factory and then discovering the feel of clay manipulating. We first will meet in my shop in Montelupo Fiorentino, opened for 20 years in a historical village known all over the world for its ceramic production. Montelupo is situated precisely in the middle of Pisa and Florence so it is easily reachable by train or by car in about a half-hour from both sides. It is a beautiful village and I hope you will love it as I do! From the shop we will go together to the factory where I will show you the cycle of production of Italian handmade pottery, telling you the history behind and explaining all the techniques. If you want, there is also the possibility to design and purchase something new that will be custom made for you by our artisans! After the factory, it will be your turn! We will go back to the shop where my father will be happy to teach you how to make your pottery piece. Don't worry if you never used a wheel, the course is funny and satisfying for everyone! And as icing on the cake your creation will be fired and shipped to your house, to have a tangible memory of the experience but above all to have a piece of Tuscany at home! Other things to note If you have any doubt feel free to contact me, I will reply as soon as possible!
