Great Women of Florence – Women’s History Walking Tour – About 1.5 hours
Embark on a journey through the streets of Florence that unveils a hidden tapestry of extraordinary women who shaped the city’s history. As a passionate advocate for recognizing the remarkable roles played by women, I’ve crafted this tour to shed light on their influential stories. With a background in languages and a focus on translating works that celebrate women who have made history, I firmly believe this tour is a tribute to their significance.
This immersive experience offers a unique perspective on Florentine society. While history often spotlights the achievements of renowned men, our tour seeks to honor the incredible women who stood beside, influenced, and often surpassed them. It’s often said that ‘behind every successful man is a great woman.’ Together, let’s explore the lives and legacies of these exceptional women who left an indelible mark on Florence.
Our journey through the highlights of this enchanting city will reveal the untold stories of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque women. We’ll encounter erudite nuns, powerful wives, celebrated women painters, writers, queens, duchesses, astute and influential concubines, and much more. Did you know that we owe many of the beautiful masterpieces you can admire today in Florence to the brilliance and dedication of these women?
Join me as we step back in time, imagining what daily life was like for Florentine women, and celebrate their contributions that have often been overlooked but are integral to the city’s cultural richness. Let’s honor their legacy together.
