Immerse yourself in the spiritual and artistic legacy of Beato Angelico on a private Catholic tour through Museo di San Marco and Palazzo Strozzi. This exclusive experience offers a profound encounter with faith, beauty, and history during Beato Angelico – The Exhibition (26 September 2025 – 25 January 2026), the most important monographic show dedicated to the artist in over 70 years.

The journey begins at San Marco, the quiet Dominican convent where Angelico lived, prayed, and created his most devotional works. Guided by a faith-informed expert, you’ll explore frescoed cells, cloisters, and manuscripts that reveal the spiritual message behind the art.
