FLORENCE, AS IN A DREAM –Author’s journey into Florentine creativity

Where breathes taste, humanity and beauty, in the highest degree

If you love art, you have to go to Florence https://www.visitflorence.com/tourist-info/. The Uffizi museum or the Accademia Gallery deserve all your attention. Its beauty is not only in museums, but also in the streets, with Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. To all this, but letting yourself be accompanied by people who were born or raised here, you can add the atmosphere of the city by following our author’s journey in five shades of Florentine creativity.

For our first purchase, we entered a shop located at 17 in via Aretina. Obviously, in an online store https://www.unique-canvas.com/artprints/artist-sandro-botticelli.html, you can request the painting you prefer. Considered the most famous exponent of the early Florentine Renaissance, he was born in Florence in 1445, right in the same city where the Paolo Tonda Corniceria https://www.quadristampeautore.com/vendita-quadri-specializes in the sale of paintings and graphic works. Why not decorate your home, or your work environment, in an unusual way. You need a painting by Andrea del Sarto. His paintings, with elegant design, are a symbol of ability.

His creative characteristic was the ability to create harmonious, balanced and formally flawless compositions. His first important work was the decoration of the Scalzi cloister in Florence. With scenes from the life of St. John the Baptist, that masterpiece had started in 1507 and ended after nearly twenty years. Born in Florence on a July day 1486, after having apprenticeship at a goldsmith’s workshop, Andrea del Sarto https://www.uffizifirenze.it/andrea-del-sarto.html became a pupil of Piero di Cosimo. In the cloister of the Vows of the SS. Annunziata, he frescoed scenes from the life of San Filippo Benizzi, to which were added procession of the Magi and Nativity of the Virgin.

You can also get to know it online https://www.ibs.it/cd/compositori/Giulio%20Caccini. Composer and singer, he lived in the Medici court of Florence. Member of the Florentine Camerata, Giulio Caccini collaborated in 1600 to the music that constituted one of the first melodrama models. If you love and want to learn to play music, All Music! http://www.allmusicfirenze.it/mainAll_file/scuola.htm organizes individual courses in instrumental technique. We wanted to embellish the sound memory of our trip to Florence. That is why we bought tickets for a  next concert. Designed with a room intended for opera and an open auditorium, the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino https://www.maggiofiorentino.com/en/informazioni-2/, allows you to combine the magic of music with that of the city that hosts it.

In Florence, The Florentine Camerata https://theculturetrip.com/europe/italy/articles/in-florence-a-music-festival-is-reviving-the-soundtrack-to-the-renaissance/, which at the end of the 16th century was formed with the desire for a renewal of music reestablished the Greek union between word and sound. Its best results was madrigals and melodrama. In via dei Benci, the Camerata Fiorentina https://www.cameratafiorentina.com/ is also the name of a luxury apartment with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a place that can offer you a unique experience.

Through his literary work, his feelings towards a woman, his inspiring muse, Dante Alighieri has helped to make love literature, as we know it leave. Born in Florence in 1265, he would later become the greatest poet in Italy. That unrequited sentiment lived on love and passion for a woman named Beatrice, and this creates the opportunity for an unusual romantic itinerary through Florence https://www.visitflorence.com/itineraries-in-florence/dante- alighieri-in-florence.html.

During their entire existence, those two met only three times. The polite love affair began with a casual encounter, when Dante Alighieri was a nine-year-old boy, immediately in love with a young woman named Beatrice. Those feelings grew over the years https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/vita-nova_dante-alighieri_mark-musa/400719/#isbn=0486419150&idiq=18487720, until a new meeting with her, nine years later. His love for her survived to her marriage and death, in 1290, when she was only 24 years old.

Not far from Palazzo Pitti and Forte di Belvedere, the Roberto Capucci Museum http://www.moda.san.beniculturali.it/wordpress/?partner=fondazione-roberto-capucci, is into the seventeenth-century Villa Bardini, whose garden embellished with sculptures, it exploits the slope of the hill, with panoramic points on the city of Florence. On four levels, the villa has sixty rooms, covering an area of 3800 square meters. Today you can enter with the same ticket as the Boboli Gardens.

Roberto Capuccihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mo6duLlcaVI, born in 1930, had attended the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1951, at the age of only 21, he presented his creations for the first time at the residence of the Marquis Giovanni Battista Giorgini in Florence. In 1952, that small creative fashion designer, slender as a jockey, together with other stylists, sportwear and boutique firms, participated in the first historic fashion show at the White Room of Palazzo Pitti in Florence.

Thanks to its iconographic heritage, in memory of your visit to Florence, the Fratelli Alinari https://www.alinari.it/it/prodotti offers a wide range of products for sale. We have chosen a 55-euro photographic print, a 20-euro art print and a 20.50-euro book (At the origins of photography / A Tuscan itinerary, 1839/1870). At that expense of 95 euros and 50 cents, we added an Alinari souvenir envelope for 7.50 euros.
