Florence
We only had a long weekend to do the city and so your tour really helped us get our bearings. There's just so much to see there! I know we only scraped the surface but it worked really well for us.

Venice
This was a great tour that took you everywhere you needed to go. Particularly liked the walk through of the mosaic frescoes on the front of the Basilica. We had a great time in Venice, made all the more special by this evocative guide. Like the speaker's voice too - one of the best I've listened to.

FLORENCE - Picasso, Miro, Dali at the Palazzo Strozzi

The exhibition called Picasso, Miró, Dalí. Angry Young Men: the Birth of Modernity opens at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence on 11 March and runs until 17 July

The show will bring together over sixty early works of three young artists: Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Salvador Dalí, as well as over one hundred of Picasso’s sketches. All three were raised in Catalonia, but came to fame in France where two of them chose to live and to build up their careers, whereas Salvador Dalí stayed largely in Spain.

As our Florence audio guide explains, the Palazzo Strozzi is one of Florence’s main tourist attractions and is also one of the most exciting and innovative exhibition spaces in Europe.

This latest show is structured like a film in a series of ‘flashbacks’ that take the visitor back in time to the very birth of modernity. Beginning with Dalí’s meeting with Picasso (1926), it traces the birth of modernism to its earliest beginnings through Dalí’s responses to Miró, Miró’s encounter with Picasso (1917), and ends just before the young Picasso’s arrival in Paris in 1900, at the start of the new century. With the 1907 Cahier 7 – shown in its entirety for the first time outside Spain – we see the birth of the language of modern art. The exhibition takes the visitor through a series of spaces organized as ‘considerations’ that investigate the common roots of the styles that later made Picasso, Miró and Dalí household names.
