Located in the heart of Rome, on the west bank of the Tiber River, Vatican City is the smallest independent state in the world, yet it holds an immeasurable cultural and religious significance. As the center of the Catholic Church, the Vatican is not only a spiritual hub but also home to some of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance and one of the world’s most impressive art collections.

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is home to some of the world’s greatest museums — and the Bargello Museum (Museo Nazionale del Bargello) is one of its hidden gems. Built in the 13th century as a palace and later used as a prison, the building was transformed in 1865 into Italy’s first national museum.
