The Collector’s Tour:
living history through antiquarian arts
Abstract
The Collector’s Tour is an immersive exploration of Italian art collecting over time.
Like many private homes around Florence, Velona’s Jungle is sumptuously decorated with an eclectic assortment of art, antiques, and objects of design that have been collected by the Velona family over the course of generations.
We worked with Velona’s Jungle founder, Veronica Grechi, to curate an immersive excursion around Florence that invites you to explore firsthand this city’s centuries-old love affair with art collecting.
During this 3-hour excursion you will enjoy a walking tour of the city center before visiting one of Florence’s most iconic private art collections-turned-museum. You will then proceed to visit a series of the most prestigious art and antique dealers in Florence that continue to source invaluable treasures from all over the world.
