In Renaissance Florence With Leonardo Da Vinci

In search of an ice cream cone, Andy and Frannie set out to discover Florence. For both it is the first time in the capital of Tuscany, and they don’t yet know it will be a very special visit. They have a couple of hours on their own, with no parents around to tell them what to do. But while crossing the River Arno, they meet an exceptional guide, no less than Leonardo da Vinci, artist, inventor, and genius, who takes them through Renaissance Florence.  – Full, it is true, of great monuments and masterpieces of art, but also of workshops, busy markets and skilful merchants. And then, when you least expect it, Michelangelo’s gigantic statue of David passes by a window on its way to Piazza della Signoria, and the adventure becomes truly a dream...
