To visit Florence is like
reading an unfinished book made of buildings, sites, memorial plaques, artworks
as well as live people. Florentine Jews have contributed to the writing
of this book since the beginning of the Renaissance. Together we will ‘read’
this living, ongoing history by visiting historic sites of special interest
to Jews during these unique tours that I have designed for you.

Jewish and Renaissance Florence
Full day (6 to 8 hours, depending on how many
museums we visit)
How did Jews live in Florence at the time Botticelli painted
the “Primavera” or Leonardo started the “Mona
Lisa”? In addition to the half-day Jewish Florence visit some of the
most famous Florentine museums and sites, such as the Uffizi
Gallery, the Academia and
the Medici Palace. I will show you how Renaissance art
and life style from a Jewish perspective. You will also see the little known
ways that Christian culture interpreted and assimilated the Jewish religion.

Customized tours
Half (3 or 4 hrs) or full day tours (6 or
8 hrs)
I can design many different tours, customized to your interests.
Beside the Uffizi and Academia and the other famous museums
(Pitti Palace with Boboli Garden, the Medici Chapels, the Bargello Museum
etc.) there are many wonderful sites to visit in Florence
and surroundings that few tourists ever get to see. Do not forget that I
am an architect and historian specializing on building restoration: we can
visit together some villas and gardens, or private family
palaces, or very special restoration workshops. You will
never forget these experiences!
