Durante, while Dante…
We all know the great poet Dante Alighieri: his Comedy, his literary works on the Italian language and politics.
Few know Durante about Alighiero degli Alighieri: his first home, his first love, the journey that took him to Florence, his political and socio-cultural mission… in short, his human face. We will start from the church of San Miniato in Pagnolle, on the hills that…
Galileo: journey around the orbit of man and scientist
An experience dedicated to anyone who wishes to observe more closely the universe of Galileo, man and scientist: launched like a satellite to enter the orbit around his planet made of scientific research and life lived. We know a lot about his scientific research, his experimental method and his naturalistic astronomical observations: but how much do we know about his private life as a man?
We will start from his last Florentine residence..

Seven Stories for Seven Hats
A hat is more than just a piece of clothing. It can tell a lot about the wearer and himself, with all the history that
hides. In the same way, a place can refer to a hat, recall its history and be the perfect setting or
birth place…
Mad world, that of hats, as the English hatters were called mad. Books have been written where one of the protagonists is a
hatter and we are all invited to his table for a crazy five o’clock tea… but only for those who want to travel through the Florence of wonders.
Florence, from the Middle Ages to the present day, preserves thousands of stories:
even hundreds all in one square. Through its streets, its buildings and squares we will go to meet the Hatter
Crazy… already because hidden in the heart of the city there is the place where we could certainly have met the crazy, very funny and
senseless craftsman from Lewis Carroll’s novel.
We will leave with the train of history to reach the glories of the capital Florence, then climbing to the peaks of the Tofane after passing through the squares of the universities and of the Italian Risorgimento: a period in which Florence was among the most important protagonists.
The history and the stories we will listen to will make us wear our hat with greater awareness and identity: because underneath
it hides thousands of stories, feelings, passions and adventures that tell our life to the whole world.
All you have to do is open the door to go out without remembering to wear your hat… whether you’re a woman or a man!
