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>

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>

Street food tour: the Neapolitan culinary art
A delicious journey inside one of Naples' greatest talents: the culinary arts
<p>In Naples, food is culture, tradition, conviviality and feeling. For every moment of the day there is a dish to honor. For every holiday, a culinary tradition to be respected. A must to follow and a command chart for every self-respecting true Neapolitan.</p><p>Meanwhile, our culinary origins start from very ancient origins. The "pinsa," from the verb "pinsare" meaning "to pull," now pizza, has even Greek origins. It was served precisely as street food in the small kiosks along the streets of Neapolis, the first city of Greek origin. Later this dough is handed down in Roman times, until it followed in the eras to follow and knew its international fame with the "Pizza Margherita" dedicated to Queen Magherita in 1889. </p><p>It was from that time that Neapolitan pizza became known throughout the world and became "the gold of Naples." Our reason for success in the world.</p><p>Second "gold of Naples" and an all-Neapolitan must-have is: espresso coffee. Artfully made with meticulous blending of coffee beans and metering of water and coffee by grand masters. In fact, one of the main elements that cannot be reproduced anywhere in the world except in Naples is water. It is said that the water in our aqueducts is just so good and makes our coffee so good.</p><p>From this then we add to it the culinary culture related to fish as a good seaside city, and especially fried food that makes everything taste better. The "fried fish cuoppo" is one of our specialties and one of our smartest street dishes, good and refined at the same time. </p><p>Another separate chapter is dedicated to our desserts. All mostly related to the Bourbon royal culture and ingredients of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Pompous, sophisticated but delicate and tasty at the same time. Each dessert has a history, an identity and a tradition. Each with a completely different taste that already tasting them all is worth a full day's tour in Naples.</p><p>But one of the main things that actually reflects the true Neapolitan sentiment of "street food" in addition to good eating, is precisely that of eating well but experiencing the street. Not precluding eating well while living the city streets. In short, a tour to just live.</p>
