Accademia Gallery Tour

Accademia Gallery of Florence was once part of the academy of the fine arts. It was founded in 1784 by the grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo whom collected a great amount original and replicated art works. The original gallery was hosting two enormous gypsum models of giambologna's famous Rape of Sabines statue. The gallery was enriched with Gothic and renaissance paintings from churches and convents that Pietro Leopoldo abolished.

Accademia gallery was chosen to be the new home of Michelangelo’s David due to the fact that the Accademia happen to be located in the same square where the young Michelangelo studied sculpting as a child. In 1873 the town of Florence relocated David which was no longer safe in its original location of Signoria Square.
