lived and used their political and economic power over the city. You will walk along the same narrow streets where they
walked, touch the stones used to build their residences and see the same monuments that they were used to see every
day: Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their first residence in San Lorenzo district, where you can find as well their Church and
mausoleum: Medici Chapels. A few steps away you will reach then, the magnificent Cathedral, with its imposing Brunelleschi’s
Dome and the stunning Palazzo Vecchio, their second residence, which dominates the marvelous Piazza della Signoria. Further

connects the two banks of the river Arno, passing along the enchanting Ponte Vecchio and crossing houses and Santa Felicita
Church: a secret and comfortable corridor used by theMedici Grand Dukes of Tuscany, to move between the Palazzo Pitti,
their third residence, and their offices located inside the Palazzo Vecchio, without being seen by the citizens. The majestic Pitti
