In this glorious city, rich in art, Rudy brings the Renaissance to life. He visits the great museums--the Uffizi, Bargello, and Accademia, as well as the landmarks of the Renaissance--the Duomo, Bapistery, and Giotto's Tower. Rudy's tip for beating the crowds is peaceful Oltr'arno, on the other side of the river. An excursion outside of town leads to a Medici villa, a sleepy Tuscan town, and a museum with inventions by Leonardo da Vinci. Tips are given on shopping, and how to buy quality leather products.
