Embark on this tour through time as you visit the Renaissance era, a time of great pride and heritage in Florence.

This hall showcases a unique form of Michelangelo's art, "non-finito," or unifinished. These sculptures are meant to showcase the characters inside the block, as you can feel their emotions forming while they are trapped inside the Carrara marble. As a viewer, you can examine the exact scraps and small details where Michelangelo was working with his chisel and hammer.

About Florencia

Florencia, cuna del Renacimiento, reúne obras maestras del arte y la arquitectura en una ciudad compacta de calles de piedra junto al Arno.

El Duomo, con la gran cúpula de ladrillo rojo de Brunelleschi, el campanario de Giotto y las puertas doradas del Baptisterio, marca el centro de la ciudad. A pocas calles, la plaza de la Señoría y el Palazzo Vecchio se asoman a una logia llena de esculturas, y la Galería de los Uffizi guarda obras de Botticelli, Leonardo y Rafael. El David de Miguel Ángel se encuentra en la Galería de la Academia.
