Itinerary in the city through legends, family intrigues, superstitions and mysterious stories.
This tour aims to awaken the thrill, the fascination of mystery and fear, the stormy grace of terror, to quote Percy Bysshe Shelley, that feeling that repels and attracts at the same time .. Florence, city famous for being the cradle of the Renaissance where you can still admire so much beauty has at the same time a dark soul, marked by crimes, conspiracies and grim executions. The tour begins in Piazza della Repubblica, the ancient center of the Roman city, used as a place of torture over the centuries. It continues towards via dei Cerretani, in search of a “petrified head” and it arrives at the Medici Chapels where there are the tombs of the Medici family whose members are surrounded by the so-called “black legends”. Then we move to Palazzo Medici Riccardi, to tell a brutal murder and we arrive in Piazza Santissima Annunziata, with the famous Brunelleschi’s loggia of the Ospedale degli Innocenti, looking for a window with a ghost. There we have the chance to make a brief refreshment stop. The tour resumes in via dei Servi towards the Duomo, talking about two famous conspiracies against the Medici family and to walk around the Cathedral with its macabre legends of demons and resurrected brides.
The visit ends by passing in front of the Palazzo Nonfinito, now the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology, and the Bargello Museum, an old Florentine prison, to arrive in Piazza della Signoria with Palazzo Vecchio and its ghost.
