Around 9:00 am, with the fascinating light of the morning, you will have the opportunity to find one of the biggest and most important studios in the city, to learn about their history and not only! Roberto and Rodolfo Guarnieri will take you within the adventure of the frescoes, guiding you to create your own work of art.

After all this storm of creativity you’ll be hungry I guess. This is how you will get to know the purest expression of the master artist Alfio Rapisarda while you taste typical Tuscan dishes. It is one of the most famous trattorias in Florence, a reference point for lovers of good food and the artists of the district: Trattoria Gargani.

But since it is important to see the city from the locals, but also from those who have lived there for many years. You will spend an entire afternoon with an English artist, coming directly from the Florence Academy of Art. A young London portraitist but a citizen of Florence for over 10 years who will teach you the basic concepts of the portrait from a breathtaking location that will make Florence even more in your heart.
