- Dante Alighieri guided tour in Florence
Discover Florence and its medieval history. Walk around this extremely fascinating city and visit places where one of Italy's most famous poets lived: Dante Alighieri. Explore the places where Dante Alighieri lived from his birth (1265) until his exile (1302). Discover with us all the places that belonged to Dante!
You will discover with us "Fiorenza", as Dante used to call Florence, when Giotto's Bell Tower, Brunelleschi's Dome and even Palazzo Vecchio did not exist. During Dante's lifetime, the city was a network of narrow streets, stone houses and wooden houses. The city was full of towers, small churches and studios. You will walk in Dante's footsteps, investigating monuments, tombstones, characters, houses, towers and historic streets that lead to the great poet. During this walking tour, you will walk in the footsteps of the Divine Comedy, also understanding Dante's masterpiece better.
Our tour starts in Duomo Square, where the oldest building in the city and the baptistery of San Giovanni are located. In medieval times, this square was the entrance to the city, and from here the so-called "Dante's District" begins. In fact, if you walk around looking up, you can see Dante's words engraved on the walls of the ancient Florentine towers. During this tour, we will visit the place where he is believed to have been born and where he first saw Beatrice. Next, we will go to the Dante Study Center and the Ponte Vecchio, where, according to legend, the fight between the Guelphs and Ghibellines began, dividing the city into two parts.
At this point, we will reach the heart of Florence in medieval times: Piazza della Signoria and its Palazzo Vecchio, where Dante's funerary mask is kept. At the end of this incredible tour, we will see one of the most beautiful statues of Dante, in Piazza Santa Croce, where you will admire an impressive marble statue of Dante Alighieri holding the Divine Comedy in his right hand.
