This Basilica is a masterpiece of immense artistic value, featuring remarkable architectural structures and exquisite frescoes and interior decorations, harmoniously blending two distinct buildings.

Piazza del Campo - Proceed to Siena for a guided tour of the breathtaking Piazza del Campo. Arrive in Florence, check into your 4-star hotel, and enjoy a delightful welcome dinner.

Florence

Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore - Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is home to numerous Renaissance art and architectural masterpieces. Among the most famous is the Duomo, a cathedral with a tiled dome designed by Brunelleschi and Giotto’s bell tower. Florence’s museums, palaces, and churches house some of the world’s most significant artistic treasures, including the churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce.

When in need of a break from museums and art galleries, take a leisurely stroll through the beautiful streets of the historic center of Florence.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is a grand Gothic-style church built on the site of Florence’s ancient cathedral, the Church of Santa Reparata. Construction began in the late 13th century by Arnolfo di Cambio, with the stunning dome added in the 15th century. The facade is adorned with pink, white, and green marbles.

Piazza della Signoria - Since the 14th century, Piazza della Signoria has been the heart of Florence’s political life. It has witnessed significant historical events and triumphs, such as the Medici’s return in 1530. The famous sculptures in Piazza della Signoria reflect Florence’s political history, with some contrasts. Michelangelo’s David (the original is in the Accademia Gallery) was placed in front of the Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the Florentine Republic’s power against Medici tyranny. Ammannati’s Neptune (1575) represents the Medici’s maritime ambitions.

Basilica of Santa Croce - Rebuilt for the Franciscan order in 1294 by Arnolfo di Cambio, Santa Croce is the final resting place of Florence’s great and powerful figures: Michelangelo, Rossini, Machiavelli, and Galileo Galilei, who was condemned by the Inquisition and thus denied a Christian burial until 1737, 95 years after his death. There is also a memorial to Dante, though his sarcophagus is empty (he was buried in Ravenna after his exile from Florence).

Florence - Bologna - Venice

Piazza Maggiore - Piazza del Nettuno

Established in 1565 to highlight the Neptune statue, the square resulted from expanding the space between the Palazzo del Comune and the Palazzo del Podestà by demolishing a block of buildings. The new square transformed the surrounding area, connecting with Piazza Maggiore. As the city’s heart, Piazza Maggiore evolved over centuries, enriched with significant buildings: the Basilica of San Petronio, the Palazzo dei Notai, the Palazzo d’Accursio, the Palazzo del Podestà, and the Palazzo dei Banchi.

Basilica di San Petronio - The Basilica of San Petronio is Bologna’s main church, dominating Piazza Maggiore. Although largely unfinished, it ranks among Europe’s largest churches, with its impressive size making it Italy’s fourth-largest church.

Venice

Piazza San Marco - Elegant, precious, inimitable, fun, and romantic: Venice is a gem of the Venetian and Italian tourist scene, where churches, palaces, ancient bridges, monuments, and squares narrate the artistic and cultural vibrancy that has shaped and continues to shape the city’s history. The heart of Venice is the splendid Piazza San Marco, Europe’s most elegant living room, surrounded by works of undeniable value: the imposing bell tower and the Basilica with its five portals and marble and mosaic decorations that hint at the interior’s magnificence and riches; the Palazzo Ducale, symbolizing the Serenissima’s golden age; the Torre dei Mori, known as the Clock Tower, an engineering marvel marking Venice’s time for centuries; the Napoleonic Wing, home to the Correr Museum.
Afterward, enjoy a spritz or prosecco to celebrate your visit to Venice’s highlights with your tour leader.

Ponte dei Sospiri - The Bridge of Sighs’ name, from the Serenissima era, is said to have originated from prisoners sighing as they crossed it, knowing it would be their last glimpse of the outside world before imprisonment.

Venice - Montepulciano (Wine region) - Rome

Piazza Grande a Montepulciano - Montepulciano, renowned for its namesake wine, is perched on a hill 600 meters above sea level. From this vantage point, one can gaze over the lush Tuscan hills, olive groves, vineyards, and cypress trees that beautifully define the landscape. From the Tower of the Renaissance Palace of Montepulciano, the view extends to the Sibillini Mountains and the Cimone.
