(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Florence
Not only is central Florence the heart of town, but since the 1500s it was also the heart of the Italian Renaissance. While many of Florence’s neighbors never recovered from plagues and famines, thanks to its river access, powerful military, and ruthless Medici rulers, Florence grew into a European powerhouse in the Age of Enlightenment.
Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
Officially called the Cathedral of Santa Maria of the Flower (del Fiore), Florence’s Cathedral (Duomo) is the most monumental landmark in town. Before the current church was started in 1296, the Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Reparata sat here dating back to the Gauls in the 400s. Because the architect died in 1310, work slowed for 30 years until the survivors of the Plague of 1348 revived the project. ( exterior only )
Ponte Vecchio
The Roman bridge was built next to this one around 127AD and replaced by in 966. It was the only one to cross the River until 1218. The first one was made of wood then turned into a stone bridge after the Flood of 1333 or 45? butchers (beccai) were based here, threw scraps in the river, and it stunk so bad that Cosimo de Medici had Vasari build him a suspended walkway to Pitti Palace. Rich people didn’t want to walk the stinky bridge either and had Goldsmiths move in. It is the only bridge in town to survive WW2
