Florence, Pisa, Siena, Chianti, and Italian Renaissance — how well do you know Toscana?
Florence, Pisa, Siena, Chianti, and Italian Renaissance — how well do you know Toscana?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was straightened from a 5.5° tilt to 3.97° in the 1990s — a 14-year engineering miracle that should keep it standing for another 200 years. Tuscany is the heartland of the Italian Renaissance, where the Medici banked, Brunelleschi built his dome, and Michelangelo, Leonardo, Galileo, Dante, and Machiavelli all came of age between Florence, Vinci, Pisa, and the Chianti hills.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Florence's UNESCO old town and the Uffizi, Brunelleschi's dome and Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, the Medici dynasty and the Florentine popes and queens, Michelangelo's David and Galileo's Pisa, the Palio of Siena and San Gimignano's medieval towers, Carrara marble and Lucca's walls, and Tuscan staples from Chianti and Brunello to bistecca alla Fiorentina and ribollita.
Sandro Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus' hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it sits alongside his 'Primavera' as a centerpiece of the Renaissance collection.
The Medici, a Florentine banking family, dominated the city's politics and culture from the 1430s until 1737. They produced two queens of France and four popes and bankrolled much of the Italian Renaissance.
Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, in Tuscany, on 15 February 1564 — the same year Michelangelo died and William Shakespeare was born.
