Admire the works of Italy's greatest Renaissance artists
Your dedicated guide will bring to life before your eyes the works of some of Italy's most important artists. Discover the revolutionary art of Giotto and admire the perfection of line and color in Botticelli's wonderful Primavera or the sensuality of Venus. Be amazed by Leonardo Da Vinci's mix of genius, scholarship and artistic creativity. This is not the end of the story: among the countless masterpieces present you will undoubtedly observe the works of unparalleled artists, including Raphael and Michelangelo.
Discover the secrets of the Vasari Corridor
Since you are inside one of Italy's most prestigious and relevant palaces, your visit will also include a foray into the spectacular world of architecture.

However, your guide will tell you everything there is to know about this hidden gem: mysteries, intrigues, and anecdotes. You will be able to find traces of its architectural features as you listen to your guide's detailed storytelling! The Vasari Corridor tour will return as soon as it is reopened!
