While only in his early twenties, young Michelangelo took on a project that seemed impossible to the artistic community, to carve a 17-foot statue from a piece of marble that had been rejected by many well-respected artists. To Renaissance master Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo’s work was nothing short of “the bringing back to life of one who was dead.”

Your knowledgeable expert English-speaking guide will unveil these masterpieces by renowned artists like Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto.
