Join us on this exclusive, small-group tour to Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s most famous work, the Statue of David. Meet your tour guide and group members outside Caffe Scudieri , Piazza di San Giovanni, and head off to the museum.

Hear stories of Michelangelo, a tormented but brilliant poet, artist and genius who may have lived a life of a poor man but died a multi-millionaire due to his sought-after talent. Thanks to your fantastic guides, you will learn more about the unique origin of the marble used by Michelangelo as well as the circumstances that led to the David’s unconventional creation.

Also discover Michelangelo's ‘non-finito’ works – deliberately unfinished marbles sculptures. This series of twisted bodies, still partly encapsulated in the marble, represent the soul’s eternal struggle to escape the material body.

This 75-minute tour comes to an end at the museum.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
