So you're planning a trip to Italy, and you want to see some art. The good news is that Italy is quite possibly the number one place to see both ancient and Renaissance art. However, that means there are a lot of museums. I've been fortunate enough to visit many of the museums and historical sites in both Rome and Florence, so I'm here to help you decide on what to see.Â
These articles are not meant to be a ranked list, but rather a brief overview of what you'll find inside the museums and other historical sites. I highly encourage you to spend time on the art that interests you most, and not try to see absolutely everything.
