Following the steps of Dan Brown’s character, professor Robert Langdon your tour guide will take you to see the Boboli Gardens from the inside, reaching the door of the Vasari Corridor, to follow it from the outside all the way over Ponte Vecchio, reaching the Uffizi Palace ending into Palazzo Vecchio, “The Palazzo Vecchio resembles a giant chess piece. With its robust quadrangular facade and rusticated square-cut battlements, the massive rooklike building is aptly situated, guarding the southeast corner of the Piazza della Signoria”.
This is what Dan Brown writes in his latest best-seller, set in Florence and mostly in Palazzo Vecchio. We will learn the history of the palace living through the locations and the scenes of the novel. The public rooms – but the most secret as well – become the settings of researches, pursuits and coups de théâtre centred on a precise work: “Here we are, finally… Marta Alvarez had expected to see Dante’s familiar dead face staring back at her, but instead, all she saw was the red satin interior of the cabinet and the peg on which the mask normally hung.”
Inside Palazzo Vecchio we will visit spaces not open to other visitors and we will walk through secret passages, living behind us the other people. Then we will see Dante’s dead face and afterwards we will reach the area where he used to live, reaching the Cathedral and the Baptistery that we will enter to discover how the story novel in Florence.
Once in the Baptistery, we can discover secrets of the monument and enter doors not for the ordinary visitors, going on passages not open to the public. Also, we can walk on the terraces over the roof of the Cathedral, admiring Florence from a unique perspective (this part requires climbing about 150 steps). For those one willing to reach the top, climbing the rest of the, with 313 more steps
