What makes Private All-inclusive Florence Wonders Walking Tour with Accademia Gallery a unique experience ?
Meet your private guide at the entrance of the Accademy Gallery and admire the wonderful statue of David, the result of the genius of Michelangelo and other important works of art such as ”I Prigioni”, ”San Matteo” and the “Palestrina Pietà”. The young Michelangelo carved the David from a huge block of rough marble in three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the Renaissance model. He depicted a magnificent nude young man at the height of his physical vigor, whose intense expression of strength and courage, which originated from an absolute faith in God, roses as a symbol of power and invincibility of the Florentine Republic at the time of its maximum splendor.
