Florence is sprinkled with symbols, codes and esoteric enigmas that come from many eras, in particular the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. These signs tell stories of important or common people who have relied on magic, both pure and dark, to reach their destiny.
During this tour, we will go to find the symbols of the facades of Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella, the necromancy in Piazza Santa Croce, and the Palindrome of the Florence Baptistery!
Thanks to our expert guides, you will also have the opportunity to learn about the story of the legendary crusader knight Pazzino de Pazzi and the three silica splinters from the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, which on Easter day light up the Brindellone for the traditional Explosion of the Cart in Florence.
We will recreate the arsenic poisoning of Pico della Mirandola in the year 1494, a famous intellectual who was part of the circle of Lorenzo the Magnificent and also had kabbalistic inclinations.
Another one of the stories we will talk about during this tour is the magnetism of the historically famous friar Girolamo Savonarola, the intransigent Dominican hanged and burned at the stake in 1498 in Piazza della Signoria!
And again hangings, crimes, gallows in the Bargello, Templars and Cathars in Florence in the church of San Jacopo!
Malformed children were rejected by their families and buried alive because they were attributed to the intervention of evil!
Last but not least, we will face an esoteric symbol and the countless bees that adorn the statue of Ferdinand I in Piazza Santissima Annunziata will be narrated. Will it bring luck?…. Let's try!
