Description

The David is 5.16 meters (almost 17 feet) tall and it’s made of a single block of marble from the Carrara quarries in Tuscany. Buonarroti’s genius exalts the small Republic (the David) versus the return of the Lordship, it’s a re”ection about humanity and the virtue of men. Before admiring the David in its museum, inside its specific tribune section, you will see the un#nished and fascinating “Prisoners Captives.”

Our guides will show you the techniques used by the artist and the legendary story of these sculptures. After a short break for lunch, we will continue in the afternoon with a walking tour of the historical center.
