The will to discover
“What is needed is not the will to believe, but the will to discover, which is the exact opposite.”
— Bertrand Russell
Below we present a range of itineraries to explore with your AGT guide. You can choose from our proposals or request to customize them according to your needs when booking the service.
Here, we wanted to suggest possible solutions to offer a general overview of Florence, even if you have little time to visit the city, famous worldwide for being the birthplace of the Renaissance.
An extraordinary historical period, a turning point in Italian and European history and, without exaggerating, for humankind as a whole. New ideas, a new way of seeing the world, first took root here, in Florence, influencing the history of the following centuries, all the way to the Industrial Revolution and beyond.
Thanks to an exceptional combination of circumstances — economic, political, artistic, and philosophical — and also to its “ordinary and extraordinary people”, it was in Florence that the foundations for the development of the “modern age” were laid.
It wasn’t only Michelangelo and Leonardo, but also many other artists, less known to those who don’t study history or art history, but equally great. Alongside poets, writers, mathematicians, philosophers, and politicians — supported by the great merchant and banking families — and thanks to the skills of anonymous craftsmen, they turned ideas into reality, contributing to a new worldview: the humanistic one.
The task of the AGT guide will be to summarize and illustrate all of this during a walk together, where you will be able to nourish yourself with history, art, and beauty, but also — if you wish — enjoy a moment to savor an ice cream, a glass of Tuscan red wine, or an Italian espresso.
A little extra touch to complete your Florentine experience.
