FLORENCE DESIGNED AROUND YOUR TEAM
Cultural Team Building in Florence and Tailor-Made Corporate Experiences
I am Giulia Bacci, a licensed tour guide and art historian. I design private tours, cultural experiences and team-building activities for companies wishing to offer colleagues or guests something more than a traditional city tour.
A museum, historic palace, basilica, artisan workshop or the streets of Florence can become the starting point for a shared experience designed around the group, the time available and the purpose of the event.
Everything is tailor-made, conceived in Florence and designed around your team.
TAILOR-MADE
No standard packages
Content, duration, venues, pace and format are defined according to the company, the group and the overall event programme.
AUTHENTIC
Florence as part of the experience
The city is not merely a backdrop: artworks, spaces, stories and crafts become opportunities for observation, conversation and shared discovery.
WELL ORGANISED
Timings and logistics checked in advance
Capacity, tickets, group division, transfers and partner availability are assessed before the proposal is prepared.
TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE FLORENCE TOGETHER
Corporate tours and cultural team-building experiences
The proposal is shaped around the nature of the event: it may be a private cultural experience or a more participatory activity focused on interaction within the group.
Cultural experiences for companies
Private tours of museums, palaces, churches and the historic centre, designed to complement conventions, meetings, corporate dinners, incentive trips or programmes for guests.
The itinerary may be short and focused or extend over half a day or a full day, linking several places through a common theme.
Cultural team building
The tour may include questions, observation, discussion or narrative activities that involve the group without turning art history into an artificial game.
Artworks and places can open a conversation about identity, innovation, leadership, creativity, relationships, communication and the building of a shared vision.
IDEAS TO START FROM
Customisable cultural experiences for your group
These are not fixed packages. They are examples that may be adapted, combined or completely redesigned using the full range of museums, churches, itineraries and Florence-related content available.
POWER AND COMMUNICATION
Palazzo Vecchio and its secret routes
Public halls, Medici apartments, private studies and hidden spaces show how power constructs its image and organises public and private environments.
IDENTITY AND VISION
The Medici across the city
Palaces, chapels, museums and urban transformations reveal how one family gradually built a recognisable political, cultural and visual identity.
The itinerary may connect Palazzo Medici, San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapels, Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi and Pitti Palace.
FASHION AND REPRESENTATION
Florence, Pitti Palace and fashion
From Eleonora di Toledo and court dress to the Sala Bianca and the birth of Italian fashion: a journey through image, entrepreneurship and communication.
COLLECTING A VISION
The Stibbert Museum
European, Islamic and Japanese armour, costumes, paintings and theatrical interiors invite reflection on curiosity, selection, order and the construction of a personal project.
RELATIONSHIPS AND CONFLICT
Dante and medieval Florence
Allied and rival families, coats of arms, towers, economic activities and urban change reconstruct a city of relationships, ambitions and conflict.
The itinerary may begin in Piazza della Repubblica, pass through Dante’s neighbourhood and continue to Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio.
INNOVATION AND SPACE
Brunelleschi and Michelangelo at Santo Spirito
Architecture, proportion, light and sculpture help us understand how a new idea can transform the way a space is seen and experienced.
ART AND CRAFT
Meet Florence’s master artisans
The cultural visit may be combined with a demonstration or workshop devoted to paper, mosaic, engraving, jewellery, leather, restoration or other Florentine crafts.
The format is agreed with the artisan according to the number of participants, the time available and the desired level of participation.
PRIVATE SETTINGS
Intimate museums and special openings
House museums, lesser-visited collections, after-hours tours or private access may offer a more intimate experience when available and authorised by the individual institutions.
Every option is checked before being included in the programme.
A WEALTH OF POSSIBILITIES
The whole of Florence can become your itinerary
The experience may begin with major museums, churches, artists, Florentine families, fashion, craftsmanship, collecting or the transformation of the city. One or more places can be linked through a shared theme.
FLEXIBLE FORMATS
From one hour to a multi-day programme
60–90 minutes
A short experience before dinner, after a meeting or during a break in the corporate programme.
Half day
An in-depth visit, possibly combined with a second venue, a guided walk or an artisan encounter.
Full day
Two experiences connected by a common narrative, with realistically planned breaks and transfers.
Several days
A programme of different experiences designed for conventions, incentive travel and more extensive corporate stays.
BEFORE THE EVENT
Every detail is assessed in advance
A successful experience also depends on organisation. When an option is not genuinely suitable for the group, an alternative is proposed to preserve quality, attention and continuity.
Private access, after-hours tours and special openings can be considered only when available and authorised by the museums.

- Number of participants and venue capacity
- Tickets, reservations and opening times
- Division into smaller groups and additional guides
- Transfers and realistic timings
