The tour includes a tour of the gallery of the Academy of Arts where we will see the magnificent collection of musical instruments, including those of master Stradivari, of the Cherubini Conservatory of Music, along with paintings from Quattro and Cinquecento among which works by Filippo Lippi, Scheggia , forms from Gianbologna’s sculpture the Abduction of Sabina, as well as one of the most magnificent collections of Michelangelo’s sculptures.
From the series non finito with the slaves, St. Matthew and the original of the legendary David which has become the symbol of Florence, we pass through the stucco/gypsum library and arrive at the magnificent collection of Giotto and his pupils.
Next we visit the Medici pantheon – the Medici Chapel. It is located at the back of the church of San Lorenzo , where there is a huge chapel constructed by Brunelleschi, extolling the splendor of the dynasty, using hard stones and various techniques , and next to it is the Sagrestia Nuova (New Sacristy) displaying Michelangelo in all his splendor – creating the architecture, the layout and the sculptures commissioned by Pope Clement VII – night and day, dawn and sunset and the Madonna and Child, perhaps the artist’s most complex work.
