The itineraries

2nd Itinerary: The Cenacoli: art, food and religion in the great Renaissance frescoes. Discovering symbols and daily life in the tables laid for the Last Supper
3rd Itinerary: Brunellleschi and the Duomo. An artist, an engineer and perhaps, a chef?

Lunch
A welcome aperitif made from white wine or sparkling white wine with something to whet the appetite: pecorino and broad beans or pecorino and fruit pickles, or Tuscan cold sliced meats, or Tuscan toasts with liver sauce topping.
A first course: generally with seasonal vegetables.
