11 OUTstanding places to visit in Italy

The Gallery of the Academy of Florence, a very important art museum, best known for Michelangelo's sculpture of David, however, it is also a smaller museum than the Uffizi, therefore, it is more specialized in the later Reinassance era. Besides the David sculpture, there are many works of Michelangelo and Florentine artists, mostly from the 14th to the 17th centuries, from the Trecento movement to the late Renaissance. It's extremely romantic, beautiful and another great place for art lovers.

The national museum of Bargello, is a little different than the other locations because it used to be a barracks and a prison during the Middle Ages, therefore the structure and architecture are a bit different than the usual museums in Florence and Italy in general. In this museum, you may find not only the elite Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo and his work "Bacchus" but also many other masters such as Donatello, Jacopo Sansovino, Bernini and more amongst the famous late Renaissance and Baroque periods. In this museum, you may also find a great collection of ceramics, textiles, silver and ivory coins, tapestries and much more, and it is definitely exciting to walk around such a historical place that barely changed since it was built, like many structures in Florence and Italy in general.

When we think of Rome, one of the first things that come up to our minds is the Romantic fountain where you can toss a coin and make a wish. The fountain is located in the Trevi district of Rome. The fountain is a beautiful spectacle from the Baroque era, designed by Nicola Salvi and Giuseppe Pannini, standing at over 25 meters tall. You must visit the most famous fountain in the world, when in Rome!

One of the most famous chapels in Italy and the world, located in the Apostolic Palace in Rome and is the official residence of pope in Vatican City. The chapel dates back to the 15th century and is full of amazing Renaissance frescos and of course the famous piece by Michelangelo of The Last Judgement. The chapel was built in dedication to the Virgin Mary and it really is a beautiful and extraordinary place to visit while in Rome.

Also the most gay-friendly and open city in Italy, there you can also see the great classic and most famous painting in the world, The Last Supper. It is located inside the convent of Santa Maria Della Grazie, and even though there aren't many artworks in the place, you can't visit Milan and not stop at the convent to see this classic! Of course, we recommend booking tickets in advance.
