Galleria dell'Accademia
The Accademia Gallery in Florence, once an integral part of the fine arts academy, traces its origins back to 1784 when it was founded by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo. Initially showcasing gypsum models by Giambologna, it evolved into an impressive collection featuring both original and replicated artworks. The gallery's richness was further enhanced by the inclusion of Gothic and Renaissance paintings sourced from abolished churches and convents.
In 1873, the gallery was selected as the new home for Michelangelo's David, a decision prompted by safety concerns in Signoria Square. Over the years, additional masterpieces by Michelangelo, such as the Prisoners, St. Matthew, and Pieta, found a home within the Accademia, transforming it into an unofficial Michelangelo museum.
Immerse yourself in the stories behind each masterpiece with our expert English-speaking guide, unraveling the legacy of one of the world's greatest artists.
