About this experience

Visit their private apartments and enjoy the historical atmosphere given by the artworks adorning the walls that will make you travel directly to Renaissance Florence.
Admire the impressive frescoes decorating the walls of the Salone dei Cinquecento, which, at 54 meters long, 23 meters wide and 18 meters high, is believed to be the largest room built for the administration of civil power in Italy.
Hear the incredible story of how Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were once commissioned to paint two large frescoes for the Hall of Five Hundred, and the astonishing reasons why it didn't work out!
