A private electric golf cart tour to Florence's hilltop viewpoints, including Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte. Roll up to Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato al Monte, with photo stops along the way, taking in Florence's finest views of the Duomo and terracotta rooftops from the hills above.
Piazzale Michelangelo wasn't always Florence's signature view — architect Giuseppe Poggi carved it out of the hillside in 1869, during the brief years Florence served as capital of the newly unified Italy, as part of a sweeping urban-renewal project known as the Risanamento. His neoclassical loggia overlooking the square was originally designed to house a museum of Michelangelo's work; that museum was never built, and the space has operated as a café-restaurant ever since.
The bronze statues scattered around the piazzale aren't the originals — they're casts of Michelangelo's David and the four allegorical figures from the Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo, placed here so they could stand against the same rooftops and hills the sculptor knew. A golf cart gets you up to see them, and the Duomo's dome beyond, without the steep climb most visitors make from the Oltrarno side below.
San Miniato al Monte, a short roll further uphill, is older still: the current basilica was begun in 1018 over the grave of Saint Minias, one of Florence's earliest Christian martyrs, and its geometric marble facade — finished around 1090 — set a pattern of green-and-white stone that was later echoed on the Duomo and Baptistery down in the city center.
