Tour Option # 1. Wedding Tour (max 24 people)

1486, the Wedding of the Century: Lorenzo Tornabuoni marries Giovanna degli Albizi. A true story of one of the most spectacular Florentine Renaissance weddings. Florence in its heydays, two young people, beautiful, members of the powerful Florentine upper class families. How did that work, strategies, who-with-who, the mothers, THE DRESS, the dowry, the art commission. It all culminates in unrivaled splendour. We'll walk where they walked and were cheered on, get to know their families and see their palazzi. And end in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, right in the splendid Cappella Tornabuoni, surrounded by Domenico Ghirlandaio's immense and stunning fresco's.
