1.30-hour visit to the Cisterns of Ancona
Ancona is amazing above, but also below! Discover what lies beneath the ground
<div>Ancona is certainly a city waiting to be discovered and little known to the vast majority of people, both locals and those visiting the area. Among the most unusual attractions the city can offer, the underground is certainly one of the most unusual and with this guided tour, suitable even for those who have never worn a speleologist's helmet, we will take you to discover a part of it.</div><div><br></div><div>The city still has a vast system of tunnels, cisterns, reservoirs and water conduits of great engineering interest. Some of these have been lost due to the succession of ages, while some of them can still be visited today. Thanks to the painstaking work of a group of the city's spelolologists and the collaboration of the municipal administration, a search for some of these forgotten spaces began in 1984 in order to map them, to see where water still flows, and above all to allow anyone to learn about and see for themselves the history of the city's water supply.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The visit, which lasts about two hours, starts with a meeting with the cavers at the famous Calamo fountain near Piazza Roma; once you have signed the safety waiver, you will set off to visit the reservoir hidden in the buildings housing the fountain of the same name. Inside this, an environment redeveloped and refurbished for public use, speleologists will tell you the history of these hydraulic works and relate curiosities about the rediscovery of the tunnels of Ancona Sotterranea. Most of the information of the visit will be provided here, as the later rooms suffer from poor acoustics and are not suitable for conversation.</div><div><div><br></div><div>At the end of this first part, we move on to Piazza Stamira: upon arrival, cavers will make you put on boots and a helmet equipped with a light before descending into the subsoil of the Piazza where a cistern of approximately 4,000 square metres is hidden. By means of a manhole, the speleologists will help you descend below ground level and after a few steps you will find yourself in an underground world of darkness and water. The experts who will guide you know these spaces like the back of their hand and will show you how they have managed to find them. Wells, water cascades, sluices, tunnels, these are the elements you will see inside the cistern in Piazza Stamira, in a unique environment greatly enriching your knowledge about the city and the hydraulic systems of the past.</div></div></div>

Skip the Line: Accademia Gallery Guided Tour in Florence
Experience the incredible emotion of standing in front of the original David, the iconic masterpiece of white marble created by the genius of Michelangelo
<p><strong>During your vacation in Florence don’t miss out on meeting one of the most famous and eclectic artists in the world: Michelangelo.</strong></p>
<p>Your personal guide will reveal the secrets of the <strong>ACCADEMIA GALLERY</strong> and the creation of Michelangelo’s world renowned masterpieces, such as the <strong>original</strong> version of <strong>David</strong>, I Prigioni and <strong>San Matteo</strong>. </p>
<p>The museum was built in 1784, and it was conceived as a real shrine devoted to the preservation of the <strong>SYMBOL OF FLORENCE</strong>.</p>
<p>This guided tour is a must and will be a discovery for anyone interested in <strong>MICHELANGELO</strong>: your <strong>PROFESSIONAL GUIDE </strong>will reveal you some interesting facts about the tormented life of the Tuscan artist, who was not only a sculptor, but also a painter, an architect and a sensitive poet. However, his genius matched his restlessness: his whole life was marked by the continuous struggle between form and content, between his religious devotion and his personal hidden desires. This inner conflict perfectly exemplified by the use of his technique, the world-famos <strong>NON FINITO</strong>, where an apparent incomplete sculpture seems to literally come out of the block of marble, as if it was always there. An authentic struggle between form and content brought into life.</p>
<p>At the end of the guided tour you will have the possibility to stay in the museum for as long as you like.</p>

Skip the line NAPLES UNDERGROUND
A fascinating journey into the underground and eras of the city of Naples. You will start from its foundation of Greek origin to modern-day Naples.
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The existence of underground Naples is linked to the morphological and geological conformation of the Parthenopean territory, which is composed of tuffaceous rock that has very special characteristics of lightness, friability and stability.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The first transformations of the morphology of the territory, which occurred by the Greeks starting in 470 B.C., began the growth of the fascinating world that is underground Naples. These transformations were dictated by water supply needs, which led to the creation of underground cisterns used to collect rainwater, and by the need to recover building material to erect the buildings of Neapolis.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">In the following centuries the expansion of the city led to the construction of a real aqueduct that allowed the collection and distribution of drinking water thanks to a series of cisterns connected to a dense network of tunnels. During Roman rule the existing aqueduct was expanded and improved, but with the advent of the Angevins, in 1266, the city experienced a great urban expansion to which, of course corresponded an increase in the extraction of tufa from the subsoil to construct new buildings, confirming a peculiarity of Naples: that of being generated from its own bowels, where the buildings rise immediately above the quarry that provided the building material.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">Crucially affecting the fate of the Neapolitan subsoil were several edicts between 1588 and 1615 that prohibited the introduction of building materials into the city in order to prevent the uncontrolled expansion of Naples. The citizens, in order to avoid penalties and meet the need for urban expansion, thought it best to extract the tuff underneath the city, taking advantage of existing wells, expanding the cisterns designed to hold drinking water and obtaining new ones. This type of mining, which was done from the top down, required special techniques in order to ensure the stability of the subsoil and avoid unwanted collapses.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">The last intervention on the underground dates back to World War II, when in order to provide safe havens for the population it was decided to adapt the structures of the ancient aqueduct to the needs of the citizens. A total of 369 cave shelters and 247 anti-cave shelters were set up throughout Naples. An official list of the Ministry of the Interior in 1939 listed 616 addresses leading to the aforementioned 436 shelters, some of them with more than one access. The setting up of the shelters led to a further fractionation of the ancient aqueduct.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">When the war ended, due to the lack of means of transportation, almost all the rubble was dumped underground, as if to bury with it, also all the memories of that sad period. Until the late 1960s there was no more talk about the underground, although many continued to use the wells as dumps.</p><p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb( 87 , 100 , 111 );margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em">After about 20 years of excavation and reclamation, and thanks to the commitment and sacrifice of volunteers who descended into the bowels of Naples to unearth a historical artifact of such magnitude-a veritable underground museum-it is now possible to learn about a never-before-seen page in the history of Naples.</p>

Founded in 1778 as a court theater, it has hosted and continues to host the greatest works of classical music and theatrical performances. After suffering serious damage during the Second World War, it was rebuilt in record time and came to life again with the great Toscanini. The theater has seen some of the world's greatest musicians and opera singers perform, such as Pavarotti, Maria Callas and Giuseppe Verdi and continues to be one of the symbols of Italy and Europe.</p>
