Detailed Description
The Accademia Gallery is the mandatory stop for all those who wish to admire Michelangelo's original David. This is only one of his masterpieces on display, others including the Palestrina Pietà, Saint Matthew and the four unfinished Prisoners.
During this guided visit in the Room of the Colossus, we can admire the plaster model for Jean de Boulogne's most famous work, the Rape of the Sabine Women, which is now at the Loggia dei Lanzi, in Piazza Della Signoria. The tour pays attention to a representative selection of XIV-XVI century Florentine painting at the Gallery.
The Accademia Gypsothech houses many models in gesso by XIX century sculptors, such as Lorenzo Bartolini and Luigi Pampaloni.
During this guided tour we will also see the collection of musical instruments on loan from the Conservatoire, including two of the four surviving instruments of the Medici String Quintet - a tenor viola and a cello (a contralto viola is in the Library of Congress in Washington, one violin is in the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome and the other violin is lost), built by Stradivarius for the Grand Duke.
