Description

Enter the ghostly heart of Florence on this immersive 1.5-hour guided walking tour where chilling legends, historical horrors, and decadent Tuscan flavors collide. Your night begins in Piazza della Signoria, where your guide waits for the group at the meeting point under the statue of Cosimo de Medici, where the shadow of Girolamo Savonarola still lingers. Discover the story of the mad friar, whose Bonfire of the Vanities set Florence ablaze in more ways than one. Next, wind your way into the secluded Piazza Sant’Elisabetta, a mysterious corner few tourists ever see. Here, learn about the haunting legend of the Strega della Nebbia — the Mist Witch — whose cursed whispers are said to still echo through the fog. Time for a pause: enter a charming prosciutteria near the Duomo and enjoy a glass of Chianti with a rich tagliere of Tuscan cured meats and cheese — the perfect moment to toast to the living... and the dead. Back into the shadows, uncover the esoteric secrets of Brunelleschi at Piazza del Duomo — was his Dome a spiritual machine or an alchemical gate? Then stroll down Via del Proconsolo to meet Antonia da Castello, accused of using unguents of the Devil, condemned in 1481. Outside the Museo del Bargello, you'll encounter the specter of Antonia la Nera, the black witch of Florence, said to have returned from death after a ritual gone wrong. End your walk at a historic cernacchio, where you'll enjoy cantucci and Vin Santo — a sweet, haunting finale to a night of darkness, lore, and flavor.
