Wir waren zu zweit die Einzigen Teilnehmenden :) Prima, dass die Tour trotzdem stattfand. Die Tour führte durch ein wunderschönes Haus mit reichen Verzierungen. Einziger Wermutstropfen: es wurde m. M. nach zu viel über die griechische Mythologie erläutert. Schön, dass die damaligen Hausherren dem gerne nachgingen. Für die Besucher des Palazzo reicht ein Hinweis mit maximal einmaliger Wiederholung völlig aus. Die Geschichte der Medici dürfte in den Erläuterungen gerne stärker in die Zeit eingeordnet werden (wer war wann und in welcher Reihenfolge). Der Saal der 500 ist nicht nur wegen „Cerca Trova“ sehr beeindruckend.
