Enjoy this unusual way to discover Florence! Together with your guide you will appreciate Renaissance Florence through a bike tour. Along the trip, you will stop to admire the refectories frescoed with representations of the Last Supper, having an opportunity to compare the renderings of many impressive artists.

The Cenacoli (the representations of the Last Supper) are of the utmost artistic interest in Florence. As a result of the suppressions of religious orders that took place in the 18th and 19th century, a great many Florentine convents have been turned into museums.

You tour will begin at Santa Croce, where the former refectory of the Franciscan convent is frescoed, beneath the great "Tree of Life", with Taddeo Gaddi's 14th-century "Last Supper".

You will then cross the river and find at Santo Spirito a fragment of Orcagna's fresco of the same subject. In the refectory of Sant'Apollonia we find the dramatic and austere version of Andrea del Castagno.

Close by to those of the Ghirlandaio of Ognissanti and San Marco representations, you can admire the bright, neat colors of Domenico Ghirlandaio, and in the former convent "di Fuligno", Perugino's triumph of light.

The Last Supper painted in the convent of the Calza by Franciabigio clearly shows the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, while the grandiose fresco by Andrea del Sarto at San Salvi has the monumentality we associate with Michelangelo.
