👍👍 Fuori dal centro storico ma comunque raggiungibile comodamente a piedi, il cenacolo di Andrea del Sarto merita decisamente una visita Non è infatti da meno rispetto agli altri cenacolo presenti in città (Ghirlandaio e Andrea del Castagno) Entrata gratuita Il museo contiene inoltre una collezione di...

Cloister of the Scalzo
Museum
👍👍 The Chiostro dello Scalzo is one of the most charming cloisters of Florence. This is due to the cycle of frescoes on the life of John the Baptist that Andrea del Sarto painted in the cloister. A stone's throw from the Duomo the Chiostro dello Scalzo is still relatively unknown, so it is worth a visi...

Studio d'Arte di Agostino Dessi
Museum
👍👍 Agostino Dessí has made over 40 thousand masks by hand to date. His shop is almost like a little museum for leather masks for theatre, carnivals and more. Each item is different and like a work of art. Absolutely amazing! He is super sweet and gave me postcards with his own masks and poems relating...

Museum of Masonic symbols image

Museum of Masonic symbols
Museum
🫤 Unfortunately it is not worth the ticket price. It offers a fair amount of Masonic uniforms, but beyond that, the descriptions and explanations of the place are very vague. The environments of the temples are made with the smurfs... original, but they would also need more information.

Cenacolo di Ognissanti
Museum
👍👍 THIS IS A MUST SEE!!! I cannot stress enough how amazing this was. I cannot believe I am the first to review it because it was gorgeous and has the dead bodies of several very important people. Lots of beautiful art and as churches go, this one is REALLY PRETTY. Honestly I am so glad I haphazardly d...

Biscottificio Antonio Mattei Museo Bottega a Firenze
Cookie shop
👍👍 Whether you want to buy biscuits (and calling them biscuits is an understatement because it is the true original recipe of the Tuscan cantuccio) 🍪 or you want to have a sweetened coffee from a cantuccio for €1, this is the place for you. Staff as exquisite as the cantucci! FLAVORS: 🍫 or pistachio...

👍👍 I stumbled across this one Sunday morning, just back from 'the pig' it was lovely to see. The men then marched through the streets, to where I am not 100% a gellato was calling me, however to see them and to hear the drums was a delight

Palazzo Panciatichi, Florence
Historical landmark
👍👍 Beautiful building that houses the Regional Art Gallery, visited after a long time on the occasion of the exhibition "The Dance of Ecstasy" by Fernando José Schapira. As you climb the spacious staircase, many works on canvas and sculptures keep you company, the result of the passion of many artists...

Museum of Santa Maria Novella
Museum
👍👍 Non te lo immagineresti davvero…si entra da dietro la Chiesa al numero quattro e si visitano tre chiostri bellissimi, il Cappellaccio degli Spagnoli, un piccolo cimitero e ci si può affacciare sulla famosa Farmacia prima di entrare nella Cattedrale… il tutto in un’atmosfera pacata e spirituale… una...

Museo della Misericordia
Museum
👍👍 We were shown around this fascinating little museum by a woman who is part of the misericordia. It is basically two things in one - first a sample of donations made to the order, and secondly a potted history of the misericordia. It was very interesting to see the religious imagery alongside the adv...

Museo Casa Rodolfo Siviero
Museum
👍👍 An incredible discovery on Lungarno Serristori, an entire house completely furnished with precious works. The guided tour is necessary to fully understand the history of this particular place. Noteworthy, in the room formerly used as a dining room, is the oil on canvas by Pietro Liberi - from 1600 -...

Casa Guidi Firenze
Museum
👍 On the main floor of a 15th century building, the four rooms open to visitors in the apartment occupied by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband Robert seem to have just been abandoned by the two poets, who lived here from 1847 until her death in 1861. The house instead it has been lovingly res...
