Private Walking Tour of Florence Esotericism
With this very special visit we will look for the alchemical symbols hidden in the imposing buildings and also in the invisible corners of the city. Florence and magic: esoteric symbols that have been handed down from the darkness of the centuries of history of this city.
Along with the strict religiosity that pervaded all eras in Florence, there was also the need to appeal to alchemy and esoteric symbols. On the facades of the basilicas of Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella there are evident signs of science mixed with esoteric symbols, and the palindrome of the Florence Baptistery is still a mystery to be revealed.
An extremely interesting part of the tour is the entrance to the Masonic symbology museum, which was created by a private collector.

Piazza San Marco
The quadrangular square has a truly typical shape: surrounded by elegant buildings it is dominated by the facade of the church and convent of San Marco, from which it takes its name; in the center there is a small green area with trees, with a central statue surrounded by benches and, as in the Venetian square of the same name, crowded with pigeons. The bronze statue in question portrays General Manfredo Fanti (who died in Florence), a work of 1873 by the sculptor Papi
Basilica di San Marco
The basilica of San Marco in Florence is one of the churches of the historic city center, which dominates a crowded square and which acts as a reference point for the surrounding urban area. The church was originally part of the large complex of the convent of San Marco, where many of the most important representatives of fifteenth-century spirituality and culture lived and worked: Cosimo the Elder, Sant'Antonino, Beato Angelico, Ambrogio Catarino Politi, Fra Bartolomeo , Tommaso Caccini (known for having investigated Galileo Galilei) and, above all, fra 'Girolamo Savonarola
Piazza Della Santissima Annunziata
The basilica of the Santissima Annunziata is the main Marian sanctuary in Florence, the mother house of the served order.
