Academy Gallery Guided Tour in Italian
A special cultural experience in Florence: Accademia Gallery, home to the famous David and one of the must-see museums in Florence. Admired and recommended by travelers and art history lovers, thanks to its exclusive collection, which includes numerous works by Michelangelo, Paolo Uccello, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Sandro Botticelli, and Andrea del Sarto, as well as an original full-size model of Rape of the Sabine by Giambologna.
Certainly, the most visited work of art is David by Michelangelo, hosted by the museum as an icon of the Renaissance since 1873. David was moved to the Accademia for conservation reasons and as part of the idea of creating a “Michelangelo Museum” in Florence. Today, the Gallery features several of Michelangelo’s works, including unfinished pieces such as the Prisoners, the tomb of Pope Julius II, and the Statue of Saint Matthew.
Moreover, the Accademia Gallery houses numerous Florentine paintings from the 13th to the 16th centuries, covering periods from the Medieval Ages to the High Renaissance, as well as Florentine Gothic paintings and a collection of Russian Icons assembled by the House of Lorraine.
