You can't leave Florence without visiting one of the most important art
galleries in the world. Here you can admire numerous works of art by
Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Giotto,
Cimabue, Masaccio and many others. Among the precious exhibition
halls of the Gallery, the most renowned one contains the refined works
by Botticelli, amongst which the absolute masterpieces: "Primavera"
and "Birth of Venus". The latter painting, the icon of the museum, represents
the allegory of the birth of the goddess emerging from the sea
foam and symbolises the ideal of beauty as an expression of purity
and spiritual quality, typical of the Renaissance Neoplatonic aesthetics.
**Once the guided tour is over, it is possible to stay in the museum.
