Entering the Uffizi Gallery in Florence I will introduce the attitude of the route: essentially interactive.

The basic idea is not only to illustrate the works present but to provide the tools, to adults but also to children, to understand the language of art through a simple methodology that makes visible the stylistic and cultural aspects of the various periods (especially from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance).

Through this process the visitors themselves will recognize the differences between a medieval painting and a Renaissance one.

Along this path, we will gradually pass from the idealized art of the Middle Ages, through Duccio and Giotto to the Renaissance realism of Masaccio, Lippi, Botticelli (birth of Venus), Leonardo, Raphael to reach a culmination of meanings in the painting of Michelangelo’s Tondo Doni.

Through these lines we will answer to important questions such as: why is Florence so important in the history of art that it is considered not only the cradle of the Renaissance but also of all Western thought? What is the specific identity that is hidden behind the Florentine genius?

Going deep we will discover how art history is a dress that reveals the way of being and thinking of the ancient society. Because knowing our past permit to understand our present and to orient our future. But the most interesting thing to discover will be how easy it is to learn all this!
