Florence - Baptistery of San Giovanni
|
Step back in history as you listen to enchanting tales of the Baptistery including Ghiberti’s spectacular bronze doors known as “the Gates of Paradise,” and many other significant treasures. From the earliest times the Baptistery constituted the heart of city's spiritual life, used for centuries to baptize every Florentine child it served as a religious focus and a way of strengthening the allegiance of Florentine's to the city of their birth. It is beautiful to look at, both inside and out, a masterpiece of architecture whose beginnings date back to antiquity. The origins of the temple, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, are uncertain but according to local lore, there has been some sort of shrine on this spot since ancient Roman times. From its Romanesque sheathing of green and white marble to its Mannerist statuary, the Byzantine and medieval imprint of its mosaics, to the ambitious casting of its three spectacular sets of bronze doors, the Baptistery reflects Florence’s growth in art, from the dark ages through the Renaissance.

Florence - Basilica di San Lorenzo
|
Great Discoveries audio tour of the Basilica di San Lorenzo provides today’s tourist with the most enjoyable and informative way to visit this resplendent 15th century church.

This was their family church and for over three-hundred years generations of the great and not so great Medici were buried here in the richly decorated though somewhat opulent Medici Chapel. Our carefully researched tour guides you through the Basilica, the Medici Chapel, Michelangelo’s New Sacristy and his Laurentian Library. Along the way our professional narrator, accompanied by historically appropriate background music, points out and describes the most significant works of art and other historic treasures.

Florence - Basilica di Santa Maria Novella

Construction started on the sumptuous new headquarters of the powerful Dominican Order in 1278 and was not completed until 1360, almost one hundred years later. Its name Novella (new) stems from the fact that it was built on the site of an earlier church Santa Maria delle Vigne. The basilica’s interior is truly magnificent, with arches in two colors leading gracefully toward the high altar. It is vast, lofty, illuminated by ample sunlight and more Gothic in feel than any other church in Florence. Treasures aplenty fill the interior, a groundbreaking painting by Masaccio, a crucifix by Giotto and three major fresco cycles. This carefully researched tour guides you through the Basilica, while our professional narrator points out and describes the most significant works of art and other historic treasures.

It shall display such magnificence that no industry, nor human power, shall surpass it.”
