Forget the Renaissance! Discover an even more ancient side of Florence in this new engaging virtual tour. Long before the city became a beacon of art and culture, medieval Florence was a place of towering stone structures, powerful guilds, fortified homes, and narrow, winding streets filled with merchants and political intrigue.

Step into the world of medieval Florence, where families built defensive towers, and the city's guilds shaped its economy and society. Explore the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the political heart of the city, and visit the medieval Palazzo Davanzati to see how Florence's wealthiest families lived. Wander through Dante Alighieri's neighborhood, where the great poet grew up amidst the power struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

Discover Orsanmichele Church, once a grain market, later turned into a guild church adorned with statues by famous medieval artists. Feel the weight of history in Florence’s old prisons and fortress-like houses, built for protection during violent times. These medieval structures still stand as silent witnesses to a past defined by ambition and rivalry.

This virtual tour with slides offers a rare opportunity to see Florence beyond its Renaissance splendor. Sign up now and experience the hidden medieval side of Florence!

Get ready to step back in time as we explore Perugia during one of its most charming and nostalgic celebrations—the Coppa della Perugina. Join us for a virtual walking tour that blends vintage elegance, racing history, and the irresistible allure of chocolate.

In the roaring 1920s, Giovanni Buitoni—visionary entrepreneur and owner of the iconic confectionery company La Perugina—created this international car race to promote both his company and his beloved hometown. The Coppa della Perugina quickly became a glamorous meeting point for car lovers, socialites, and speed enthusiasts from across Europe.
Today, the spirit of the race lives on as a re-evocative event reserved for historic cars built before 1965. On our virtual tour, you’ll stroll down Corso Vannucci, where splendid vintage cars parade in style, engines humming like echoes from the past. We’ll take you through the city’s historic heart, pointing out elegant palazzi, vibrant piazzas, and hidden corners alive with stories. Along the way, we’ll dive into the legacy of the Coppa, learn how Perugina became a symbol of Italian sweetness, and of course, stop for a moment to talk about chocolate—the true co-star of the show!
Join us and experience the elegance, energy, and flavor of Perugia during the Coppa della Perugina—from wherever you are in the world.
