The purpose of the tour is to guide people of all ages through the discovery of Dante Alighieri and his world, thanks to guided tours of the Dante’s House Museum and Florence’s places of interest linked to his life. Museum workers, qualified in the cultural-educational field, and tour guides will lead you through the exploration of Dante’s universe. Dante, his life and his work, as well as the medieval world, will be narrated through the voices of the female figures who were part of the Supreme Poet’s life and journey: Beatrice Portinari, Bella degli Abati, Francesca from Rimini, Matelda, Tana Alighieri, Gemma and Piccarda Donati.

Each tour will be guided by two characters chosen among the ones available on the day and at the time agreed upon at the time of reservation. Inside the museum, groups of more than 10 people will be divided into two groups, each with their own guide.
