Description

Art and Cuisine in Florence

Discovering Florence, guided by an art historian born and bred in the heart of the city, who will accompany you along surprising artistic itineraries.

10:00 am - 12:30 a.m. Walks and visits to some of the symbolic sites of the city, to discover that at times the renaissance Florentine artistic culture was closely connected with the gastronomic culture, the taste for conviviality and good food.

12:30a.m. - 3.00 p.m. The itineraries end in a typical Florentine building of the city centre. Here guests may relax while trying some typical dishes of the great Italian culinary tradition, prepared by the host, a real wine and cooking connoisseur.

Highlights

The Itineraries
1st Itinerary: Pontormo and Palazzo Pitti. The dietetic parsimony and luxury of the Palatine lunches. The antithesis of the relationship between art and food in sixteenth century Florence.

2nd Itinerary: The Cenacoli: art, food and religion in the great Renaissance frescoes. Discovering symbols and daily life in the tables laid for the Last Supper
3rd Itinerary: Brunellleschi and the Duomo. An artist, an engineer and perhaps, a chef?
