Your guide will accompany you to discover the symbols that tell the story of those who, among the important people or the town, relied on black or white magic to help their own destiny and the destiny of the town.
You will go in search of the hidden symbols on the facades of Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella, hear stories of necromancy, anecdotes related to the famous friar Girolamo Savonarola, the uncompromising Dominican who was hanged and burned at the stake in the Piazza della Signoria in 1498.
