For nearly 300 years, one family helped shape the Florence we know today.

The Medici made their fortune in banking, but their ambitions went far beyond money. They financed churches, commissioned some of the Renaissance’s greatest artists, and built a network of political influence that made them one of the most powerful families in Europe.

And they made sure Florence would remember them. Their family crest still appears across the city, their former residences remain standing, and their influence can be seen in everything from the architecture of San Lorenzo to the masterpieces that fill Florence’s museums today.

Today our WalksDevour guide Angelo lets us in on the secrets of the Medici family and takes us through some of their footsteps through Florence, uncovering the stories behind the landmarks and the lasting legacy of the dynasty that helped define the Renaissance.

Get to the heart of Florence (and the front of every line) with us at www.walksofitaly.com 💛 See you on tour.

“An unforgettable experience. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to tour the Vatican Museums and see the Sistine Chapel with a group of 20 people, starting at 6 am without the public.

It was worth every penny.

Being able to open the doors to each room and experience the lights being turned on was spectacular... words can’t even describe how incredible and special the experience was.

Sitting in the Sistine Chapel for like 15 minutes, just soaking it all in with only our small group, was extraordinary. 5+++ stars.”

Did you know Venice held over 6,000 of these cisterns at its peak, each one feeding a single well that an entire neighborhood shared?

In 1858, that changed. Venice cut its first pipeline to the mainland, pulling fresh water in from artesian springs near the Sile river. So that meant no more waiting for rain and no more rationing by the bucket.

Those wellheads never got demolished, though. They’re the ornate stone circles you keep stepping over in every campo, and now they’re purely decorative (the pipes run underneath the pavement instead).

Come join Mose on tour to learn all the fascinating, mind-boggling, never-would-have-guessed-that moments in Venice.

Michelangelo's David stands 17 feet tall, carved from a single block of marble (that two other sculptors had already given up on completing).

The city commissioned it as a warning as much as a masterpiece: a young, unarmed hero standing his ground against a giant, right when Florence itself was a small republic surrounded by empires that could have crushed it. The statue went up outside the Palazzo Vecchio, in full public view, so every Florentine walking to the seat of government would pass beneath a reminder of what nerve could accomplish.

The original has since moved indoors for its own protection (marble doesn't love five centuries of weather), but a replica still stands guard exactly where David always did. And that's not the only replica in the city (see how many you can spot during your trip to Florence).

The Vatican is home to some of the world’s most famous masterpieces, but experiencing them without the full force of the daytime crowds makes all the difference.

On our Pristine Sistine tour, you’ll enter the Vatican Museums first thing as they open to the general public with pre-reserved skip-the-line access, exploring with a small group, and an expert art historian who knows how to turn centuries of art and history into stories you’ll actually remember.

Get closer to works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, and more. Step inside the Sistine Chapel with the context to understand what you’re seeing. And on most days, take the passageway directly from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s Basilica, saving you from exiting and joining the long public queue.

Four hours and some of the greatest art ever created with an expert by your side to help you make sense of it all.

Some moments are made to be savored.

The hush inside a chapel before the doors open to everyone else.

The rustle of a market stall opening before sunrise.

The low murmur of a kitchen that’s been feeding the same neighborhood since before anyone can remember.

Rome’s got an endless list of things you can do, should do, must do, especially if it’s your first time in the city.

But here’s a different kind of list: the fun stuff. The things worth doing when your itinerary has a little wiggle room and you’ve got time to just saunter (which is the best way to experience Rome anyway).

What’s the most underrated thing to do in Rome, in your opinion?

Venice is a city built on 118 islands, stitched together by over 400 bridges.

You can’t Uber to your hotel, but you can hail a water taxi, and it will carry you down the Grand Canal past palaces that have stood since the Byzantine Empire (only to leave you, suitcase in hand, at the edge of a narrow calle, because no boat can reach a door that doesn’t face the water).

The garbage is collected by boat. The mail arrives by boat. Even the dead are carried to their final rest by boat, gliding across water that has carried Venetians for over a thousand years.

Understanding how this city works isn’t just practical knowledge but half the enjoyment (but ✨will✨ save you headaches and disappointment when you understand how it works and how to enjoy it).

One of Rome’s best day trips is one you might not even be considering: Pompeii and Amalfi.

And there’s good reason to add it to your list.

It’s a single day trip covering two of Italy’s most enchanting places.

Pompeii, a city frozen in time since 79 AD, offers an incredibly detailed window into ancient life. And the

Amalfi Coast delivers some of the most breathtaking coastal views not just in Italy, but in the world.

It’s hard to see and do everything you want on a trip to Italy, but day trips like this let you expand what you experience, cover more ground, and learn deeply along the way, all with an expert guide leading you every step of it.
