Seeing Art on Your Italy Vacation

Italy is one of the art centers of the world. This is the home of the Renaissance and the world famous greats like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. During your vacation in Italy you will find that art here has strong ties to religion. Several of the greatest painters also painted numerous religious subject matters and were often commissioned by the Church to paint murals.

If you are in the Tuscan city of Florence while on vacation in Italy, you may visit the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in the town called Vinci where he was born. The museum is in a medieval castle called the Conti Guidi Castle. The purpose of the museum is mainly to serve as a biographical memoir of the great artist and to describe his hometown and places of interest. There is also a great library here that holds almost everything that has ever been written about Leonardo da Vinci as a man, as an artist and about his pieces. You can get a guided tour of this museum if you happen to be in Tuscany for your Italy vacation.

If you are in Florence you must also go to the Uffizi Gallery. This place holds the greatest collection of paintings from the Italian renaissance period. Many of the painters from that time lived in Florence. This town has beautiful landscapes and rolling hills and it is no wonder that the great artists were so inspired by living in this region. An Italy vacation in this area will allow you to visit this museum and see famous works of art such as Michelangelo’s “Doni Tondo” Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Annunciation” and Raphael’s “Maddonna of the Goldfinch.” An Italy vacation here will be a true feast for your artistic soul as you will not only get to see the masterpieces of the greats but you will also get to walk the streets that they walked on.
