The 10 Best Specialty Museums in Duomo, Tuscany

February 12, 2022 Leida Jutras

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Museo Casa di Dante

The Museum of Dante's House is waiting for you with a band new set-up! In the heart of medieval Florence, in one of the most fascinating buildings in the city, you'll have the chance to discover and rediscover one of the most important figures in Italian and international history and culture thanks to state-of-the-art technologies: touch screens, interactive tables, Virtual Reality and video mapping. An interactive, immersive, multisensory journey through the life and works of the Father of the Italian language, presented here in all his complexity: the man who loved his city, the warrior who defended it, the politician who was exiled from it and the Supreme Poet who sang of it until his death in the eternal tercets of his Divine Comedy.

Our first stop was the Dante Museum, a recreated Medieval Tower House that looks ancient but is actually only fifty years old. I love the way the Italian builders can make the new look old and integrate a modern structure into the fabric of a Medieval city. Americans could learn a lot from the Italians when it comes to quality building design and construction. For more travel tips, check out my travel blog.
