Informazioni
Con il nostro tour guidato di due ore accompagnato dalla nostra guida monolingue, entrerai nell'entusiasmante mondo del Bargello, un'imponente struttura medievale che un tempo era un carcere un luogo di torture e persino condanne a morte.
Non solo lo stesso Palazzo merita una visita approfondita, aspetta di scoprire le gemme nascoste all'interno: una sala dedicata al famoso scultore Donatello, con bellissime versioni originali del suo David che la disposizione del museo ci permette di avvicinarci e ammirare in grande dettaglio.
Un'altra delle sale più importanti del museo è dedicata a Michelangelo, dove si possono vedere alcune delle sue opere più importanti: Bacco-Bacco (che rappresenta l'intossicazione), il Pitti Tondo, (in cui alcuni esperti vedono i segni dell'aiuto di Leonardo Da Vinci), e il David-Apollo.
Avrai anche la possibilità di ammirare le sculture originali di Piazza della Signoria in quanto al giorno d'oggi nella piazza si trovano solo copie. Gli originali furono portati al Bargello per proteggerli dalle intemperie.
