Iliria was thoroughly knowledgeable about both the immediate context of the art and the larger context of politics.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time, and learned much about the techniques of art, the symbolism and iconography, and the broader historical context. Super tour!

A remarkable walk through San Marco with Ilaria
I had the good fortune of touring the Fra Angelico exhibit and his frescoes at San Marco convent in Florence with Ilaria. She is a young art historian with remarkable depth—her knowledge of Fra Angelico, the history of the convent, and the wider context of Renaissance Florence brought every corridor and cell to life. It was the highlight of my visit to Florence.
Ilaria guided me through the portion of the current Fra Angelico exhibition housed there, but the true magic came when we viewed the monks’ cells. Her explanations of the frescoes were clear, insightful, and delivered with an enthusiasm that never felt rehearsed. You sense immediately that she genuinely loves this material, and that energy makes the experience unforgettable.
On top of her expertise, she’s wonderful company: friendly, easy to talk to, and attentive. I never felt rushed, and she answered every question thoughtfully.
Despite my interest in art, my knowledge is somewhat thin. Ilaria met me where I was and added depth that was both engaging and enlightening. I can’t recommend her enough.

A great tour!
My mom and I had a fantastic tour of the monastery with a guide who was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the art. She showed us so much, and we were able to walk around independently at the end. We definitely recommend this tour. We’re also glad that we did the morning option—it wasn’t super busy with school groups yet so we really got to see everything up close.

Lessons and Appreciation
Titiana was our guide and she was a wonderful guide and knowledgeable lady. She provided so much information and insights about the art, artists and history which deepened our understanding of what was happening at the time the art was created. She had a great sense of reverence for the art and it’s place in history of the world as well as for Florence. Great tour and interesting insights.

Knowledgeable guide a must for this unique museum
This was one of the most unique museums we have ever visited. Our knowledgeable guide brought to life the living conditions, experiences, and work of those who lived in this convent in the 15th century as well as the life of some of its most notable inhabitants. We would never have gotten as much out of this visit without such a great guide.
