Notes on the trips

A visit to Florence is a must for any art lover. UNESCO estimates that 60% of the world's most important artworks are in Italy, with over half of those located in Florence.

Situated in the northwest of Italy, Florence is surrounded by the wine-growing hills of Chianti.Cradle of the Renaissance and home of the Medici family (Italy's most progressive art patrons) it houses some of the world's greatest treasures.

The River Arno meanders through the city, with the Duomo situated on the north bank. The Piazza della Signoria, once the hub of Florence's political machinations, remains a central reference point for visitors and citizens alike. Visitors can linger over a coffee in one of the square's gilded cafés and admire the powerful hulk of Michelangelo's David (a copy) guarding the city's Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's town hall since 1322.

An array of sculptures, including Cellini's Perseus brandishing the head of Medusa and Giambologna's Rape of the Sabine Women, stand under the square's loggia - an impressive overspill from the nearby Uffizi Gallery.
