San Giovanni
Today the San Giovanni district represents the heart of Florence, in fact in the main square, Piazza San Giovanni, there are some of the most important Florentine monuments, such as the Duomo, the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower. We will walk through the streets of the Medici district, looking for traces of their passage in churches, monuments, palaces and coats of arms. We will be overwhelmed by the splendor and grandeur of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, an undisputed jewel of Gothic architecture. We will discover the traditional festivals that have been celebrated here since ancient times: the explosion of the cart, the fires of San Giovanni and the cavalcade of the Magi. We will be transported to Piazza Santissima Annunziata, with its Renaissance architecture, the first nucleus of the new Florentine architectural language. We will reach the famous Teatro della Pergola, the oldest theater in the city, and then move on to the oldest city hospital: Santa Maria Nuova.
