Fellow blogger Arttrav.com reveals her top art secrets for Florence.
Florence Art Deco, by colros
Art secrets are not easy to either assimilate or disseminate, the latter rendering them non-secrets and therefore a mini-heart ache to impart. As such, they are always divulged with a degree of generosity in the spirit of the internet being a free place for all to enjoy and educate themselves, regardless of financial or social status, and in this regard are gratefully accepted. The secrets revealed below follow the best tradition in sharing information for the good of all.These include the free to enter silent, deserted Convent of San Salvi in Florence, the Bartolini-Salimbeni family Chapel at the Church of Santa Trinità and the tabernacles (Madonnas on streeet corners), particularly those found in the great European vacation city of Florence.
The author gives a good amount of detail, including history and location. We certainly think that these all represent great findings “off the normal tourist radar” for those traveling Europe, in a city already awash with well-known medieval art.
If you’re a bit overwhelmed by the Florence art theme, consider a day trip to the unspoilt Tuscan town of Certaldo.
