Additional Information

This is not a generic tour facilitated by large agencies, it is the exclusive MarioGesu’s tour which includes expedited entry, a local guide, and a Florentine actor. It uncovers the hidden code of Michelangelo in his masterpiece, David, revealing the artist’s creative method and his inspirational message. This superior tour is intended for couples, families with children, and groups of friends – anyone interested in discovering Michelangelo’s secrets. While David is the central focus, participants will be astounded to uncover how the artist ‘surpasses’ his creation with his ‘Prisoners’, located just a stone’s throw away, executed with his characteristic ‘unfinished’ technique. This tour, easily digestible because it employs imagery and metaphors (making it accessible even for youngsters), offers a unique viewpoint based on the process of creation: the consistent theme permeating all of Michelangelo’s works (with allusions also to the Sistine Chapel), encapsulating the artistic and spiritual motivations of the greatest artist in history.

tour with mario - Such an amazing tour and experience! Mario gave a new perspective and insight to famous works and really provided a fascinating walkthrough that we wouldn’t have had otherwise. We booked this tour last minute and so glad we did! We found him easily and got into the museum extremely quickly which is great because there was a very long line for others. We learned so much! Highly recommend

Amazing and Insightful Tour - Mario was punctual, fun, personable, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. His tour allowed us skip-the-line access to the museum, which was great, but his well-researched insights into the life of Michaelangelo and his creative process and his enthusiasm and skills as a teacher and guide really elevated our experience. By the end, we agreed that we would not have gotten nearly as much out of our visit to the museum without Mario. We would recommend Mario to anyone visiting Florence.

The philosophical-anthropology experience - Mario is the best tour guide you can have. The experience is amazing as he makes you really appreciate the whole destination with different perspective, he made you think about the deepest mindset of that era. I truly recommend you give him the chance to show you Florence as he did with all of us. If I return to Florence, for sure I will take another tour with him!

The David - Fantastic. In depth and engaging tour. Mario came through with amazing content and a deeper meaning than “just look at the statue” tours. Highly recommend.

The spiritual meaning behind Michelangelo's David (and much more than that) 💫 - The way Mario communicate the message behind Michelangelo's work, based on his deep research, was extraordinary! It was our last tour-guide on our stay in Florence, but we don't regret a single second! Mario's knowledge was profound and on top of that, the whole session was very interactive. We strongly recommend this experience 5/5 ⭐️ Best regards Rado & Iryna
