Hidden Florence

Find out what life in Renaissance Florence was really like by following in the footsteps of Giovanni, a wool worker with attitude, in the time of the Medici. Navigate in an exciting new way, using a map from the sixteenth century to hunt for statues, streetcorner shrines, piazzas and taverns, while Giovanni tells you vivid tales of the city and the characters he meets.
