Florentine Sculptures
Visitors to Florence soon become accustomed to the monuments and statues that the city proudly has on display, however many will not appreciate the time and expense that is involved in conserving these for future generations. Due to the delicate nature of this work, progress can be painstakingly slow; however the results give the pieces a new lease of life and illustrate the pride the Florentines have in their heritage.
Conserve the Florentine Sculptures with A&K
Abercrombie & Kent Italy have worked tirelessly to assist the local authority in Florence in supporting the restoration of three important statues - Benvenuto Cellini, a replica fountain of the Bacco del Giambologna, both on the Ponte Vecchio and Hercules and the Lion in the Piazza Ognissanti. Guests visiting the city will be invited to visit these pieces to learn more about their history and the precision of the work that is involved in reviving them. Abercrombie & Kent are proud to be supporting this project which is due to be completed in August 2010. If you think your clients would like to include such a visit in their itineraries please contact us to find out more.
