The Medici family’s influence on the art, politics, economics and social structure of Florence is still felt today. From the imposing family palaces they erected to the masterpieces of painting and sculpture they financed, the imprint of their prestige and wealth remains unrivalled.   This tour traces the rise of the family in the late Middle Ages, though their heyday during the Renaissance, up to their rule of Tuscany as dukes during the 17th century. We will visit three major sites that are inextricably entwined with the history of the family: the cloister of San Marco, Palazzo Medici, the family home during the 15th century and the Medici Chapels, designed for the family by Michelangelo.   Through a discussion of the family’s power and prestige, you will learn about the accomplishments of the Medici and of the Renaissance in Florence; a global turning point for Western culture.
