Art is a boundless world of symbols: paintings are mines of symbols, which help us understand the characters depicted and their stories. Symbols often come from far away and are the result of the meeting of different cultures, ideas and people. For this they still have something to say to each of us.

Museum of the Innocents
Piazza SS Annunziata 13, Florence
The story of the oldest institution for children in the world, a collection of 80 works of art, the building designed in 1419 by Filippo Brunelleschi, considered the first example of Renaissance architecture: a unique place that combines past and present with a view to protecting the rights of minors.

Art Collection, CR Florence Foundation
via Bufalini 6, Florence
The visit takes place in Arabic.
Fondazione CR Firenze has a collection of works of art of significant value, made up of paintings by various authors covering a period from the 13th to the 20th century. Formed during the twentieth century thanks to acquisitions made by the Cassa di Risparmio, the collection was largely taken over by the Foundation between 2000 and 2001 to avoid the fragmentation and dispersion of important works linked to the history of Florence and Tuscany. Among others, there are those of Giotto, Filippino Lippi, Vasari, Giovanni Fattori, Primo Conti and Felice Casorati.
Church of Santa Maria in Peretola
Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi 10, Florence
The church is located in Peretola, a suburban neighborhood characterized both by a long-term historical identity and by strategic elements of overall development, place of origin of the Vespucci family, from which the famous navigator Amerigo was born. It dates back to the 12th century and its structure still preserves an original Romanesque part. In the following centuries the church, administered by the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova, was restored with important recovery works and enriched with many works of art, including a marble, bronze and glazed terracotta ciborium by Luca della Robbia, the first example of use of glazed majolica later made famous by the Della Robbia workshop.
