Overview

Strolling from one side to the other of Florence city center, we will get familiar with the very mixed fortunes of one of its most famous families: the Medici. We will spend two hours among gossip and truth, talking about the well known as well as the unrecognized members of the family. From Santissima Annunziata Square to the Pitti Palace there will be no time to get bored! We will pass by the Palazzo Medici, the familyā€™s first lordly residence. We will stop in front of the church of San Lorenzo, built according to the familyā€™s taste and sense of scale. We will then walk to the Duomo, where we shall discover the familyā€™s involvement in the construction of what is still today considered a miracle of Renaissance architecture: the cupola designed by Brunelleschi. From here we will move towards the heart of the political power of the city, the Palazzo Vecchio and, after crossing the oldest bridge in Florence, we will reach the fulcrum of the Mediciā€™s ambition: Palazzo Pitti.

Our DAR Meadow Garden trip to Augusta

Published on Jun, 2023

Our DAR Chapter went. There were 10 of us. We all love history. You can't beat the ticket price. The Director of Meadow Garden was our tour guide. She was so professional, knowledgeable and very sweet. So glad that we went. There are lots of good restaurants close by. There was plenty of free parking. They are open M-F but a group can schedule a tour on Saturday if needed. That is what we did.
