We love Italian churches because of their magnificent art and architecture, as well as their fascinating histories. However, after seeing just the right amount of their amazing architecture and want to venture off on your own, here are some suggestions to experience. It's time to take an independent day and make some more memories through a serendipitous outing.

Michelangelo’s David in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze is probably the world's most famous sculpture. Michelangelo sculpted his masterpiece, based on the biblical story of David and Goliath, in 1501, at the age of 25. However, there are a few things about this beloved statue that you may not know.

The Vatican Museums house the largest number of artworks in Europe with more than 65,000 pieces. There is a simple reason for this: most Italian artists during the Renaissance worked for the Vatican. The Vatican is the world's smallest country and its museums are the world's largest.

The Renaissance is one of the most important cultural movements in human history. Its effects and influence were far reaching, spreading throughout all of Europe and later influencing many areas of culture and society that led to the modern era we know today.

Appreciating the universal language of art makes us fully human. Some of the most timeless art in the world can be found in Italy’s Tuscany region.
