You’ll learn how these masterpieces were created, the materials and techniques used by ancient craftsmen, and the profound symbolism behind every gesture, color, and light reflection. Each scene — from the majestic figures of Justinian and Theodora to the celestial gardens and starry domes — reveals a universe of meaning that still fascinates historians and travelers today.

Delve into the fascinating world of the Medici, one of Italy’s most powerful and influential families, and follow the continuation of their extraordinary story.
In this second virtual tour, our guide will lead you through the passions, ambitions, and intrigues that defined this remarkable dynasty — a family whose patronage of the arts and humanities transformed Florence into the beating heart of the Renaissance.
For more than 350 years, the Medici shaped the destiny of Florence and left their mark on Europe’s cultural and political landscape. Among their descendants were three popes, two queens, and numerous politicians, scholars, and artists who carried forward their legacy. Yet, behind all their power and splendor lay human stories — rivalries, love affairs, and personal obsessions that reveal the complexity and fragility of their rule.
As our journey unfolds, we’ll witness how their influence reached its height, adorning Florence with magnificent palaces, chapels, and works of art that still speak of their vision. The story will then lead us to the end of the dynasty, with Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici, the last of her line — a woman of intelligence and foresight who ensured that the family’s priceless artistic treasures would remain in Florence forever.
Her decision became an everlasting act of generosity, preserving the city’s beauty and identity for future generations.
Join us and let the final chapter of the Medici story unfold — a tale of brilliance, ambition, and transformation that forever changed Florence and the course of history.
