Example Text  from The Unveiling of Michelangelos David

Florence, Italy

Florence, Italy is a must visit city for people who love art & history. The city's museums, palaces, and churches house some of the greatest artistic treasures in the world. During the medieval ages, Florence became one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. It is considered by most academics to be the birthplace of the Renaissance, greatly due to the rule of the powerful Medici Family and their sponsorship of such artists as Brunelleschi, Donatello, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, and Michelangelo.

Florence Audio / Visual Tours

Florence's Historic City Center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Unveiling of Michelangelo's David takes visitors along some of the oldest streets in the city following the path that Michelangelo's statue David took from the artists work yard outside the Florence Cathedral to its resting place outside the Palazzo Vecchio. 

The Unveiling of Michelangelo's David. An audiovisual Tour of Florence's Historic City Center written by Laura Morelli

In 1504, Florence, Italy, simmers with political intrigue and artistic ingenuity. The Medici family plots their return to prominence, but the city’s new leaders have other ideas. They have commissioned the young sculptor Michelangelo Buonarroti to create a colossal David to stand as a symbol of the new Republic against the Medici’ Goliath.

 

Medici sympathizers have hired a band of mercenaries to ensure that this rumored masterpiece will never survive atop it’s intended pedestal at the gates of the Palazzo Vecchio. Follow the mercenary Alessio around Florence Cathedral and through the narrow streets and alleyways as he works to bring his clients’ destructive wishes to fruition in the Piazza della Signoria. 

Learn about Renaissance Florence, Michelangelo, and one of the world’s greatest works of art by Stepping Inside the Story of BARDEUM’s The Unveiling of Michelangelo’s David.
