Top 10 Things to do in Piazzale Michelangelo, Tuscany

February 21, 2022 Brain Ambrose

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.

Passionate about fine modern and contemporary painting and sculpture, I searched throughout Florence for working artists and a gallery that could rightly shine amidst the Renaissance glories of Florence. The afternoon I spent with the Guarnieri brothers, Roberto and Rodolfo, will be forever etched among my life's great and genuine joys. They were most generous with their time, attention, spirit and interest in my own philosophy of art and life. Their work represents the essence of refined taste and whimsical perspective. The grand painting I now proudly hang in my home each day refreshes the insights, humility, cleverness and joy of my appreciation and respect for the Guarnieris and their artistry.

Staff was wonderful and the trip was a lot of fun! Enjoyed some magnificent wine on the Super Chianti trip and the lunch at the "Mad Butcher" was out of this world! sampled Olive Oil. Small group was very worthwhile and met some great folks. Renewed appreciation for the Chianti region.

Junko Mukai Original Watercolor

Reviewed By breezy1435 - Saratoga Springs, United States

We stumbled on this teeny little shop as we walked down the pedestrian route from Piazzale Michelangelo. Somewhat hidden on the street that leads from the rose garden to San Miniato al Monte is this beautiful art store. In a city where a lot of the street art isn't original, Junko Mukai's store is a wonderful place to get real art from a talented artist. When we visited, the artist was at a desk painting the works that would later go on sale. The artist is very personable and has a resume including a degree in literature in Japan, jewelry making training in Florence, water color training in Florence, and picture book study at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts! We could not resist purchasing a panorama of Florence! This shop is worth searching out!!

We just finished our third and final class In the IWS Prep course online with Rebecca, and it was executed flawlessly. We had the opportunity to buy a sampling of the wines we would be studying, and a case of them arrived well ahead of time, at a reasonable price. Rebecca then conducted the sessions on three consecutive Saturdays, and it was both informative and fun. We have previously gone on two separate private guided tours to Chianti Classico with Rebecca, and we have done the same in multiple other countries and multiple areas of the US with other tour operators. Without a question, Rebecca is the best anywhere at what she does, from our experiences. She is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, kind, flexible, fun... and focused on making sure that you enjoy your time with her. I cannot recommend her strongly enough for in-person tours (when we can do that again), online classes, or shipping a great selection of wines (and olive oil and other items) quickly and affordably.
