Renaissance Court Banquet in Florence

Experience an unforgettable Renaissance evening in the magnificent setting of the ancient halls of a patrician mansion. You will be immersed in the typical atmosphere of a Florentine fifteenth century banquet, as you are served a delicious meal, while the notes of a harp and a flute and the sweet voice of a soprano gladden your ears and dances of the period enchant your eyes. Waiters, musicians, dancers and the jester, all in gorgeous Renaissance costumes will transport you back into the 15th century, giving you an unforgettable evening. If you wish, you can also try on some of the costumes and learn some 15th century dancing steps.

At the end of the evening, (the event lasts about two hours), each guest will receive a certificate on parchment inscribed with his or her name, and the crest of the Family Mansion commemorating his or her participation in this magical Renaissance Court Banquet.
