Pistoia Mysteries & Legends Private Tour
Pistoia Mysteries & Legends Private Tour
The past of Pistoia is tinged with the blood left behind by numerous violent deaths. To discover the murkiest mysteries and legends of this Tuscan city, we'll meet at the indicated time in Piazza del Duomo, in front of the Pistoia Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of San Zeno.
While we admire the façade of the temple, we'll begin to unravel the hidden history of Pistoia. In the same cathedral square, a few meters from the Baptistery, we'll observe the entrance of the Town Hall, called the Palazzo del Comune, whose rooms are riddled with conspiracy and intrigue.
Next, we make our way through the historic center of Pistoia as we learn the story of Vanni Fucci, an infamous thief from the 13th century. You're sure to also be surprised by the stories of ambushes, hatred and betrayal linked to the feud between the Panciatichi and Cancellieri families.
We'll continue our tour of the mysteries of Pistoia passing by other emblematic monuments such as the Church of Sant'Andrea and the building of the Ospedale del Ceppo. We'll also delve into the legends of the famous Via della Misericordia Vecchia.
During the walk, we'll also talk about the Divine Comedy, since celebrated Florentine poet Dante Alighieri placed the people of Pistoia in the circle of Hell. The reason? We'll find out as we stroll through the most enigmatic streets of the historic center, where the tour will conclude two hours later.
