One of the greatest pleasures of visiting Florence is the ability to go off the beaten path and experience some of its world-class art and architecture away from the crowds. One guidebook that we recommend is Approach Guides' Guide to the Last Supper Frescoes of Florence, which explores the rich artistic heritage of fresco painting in Florence.

The result of a thriving monastic community during the years of 1335-1582, the center of Florence holds a large number of Last Supper frescoes painted by some of Italy's most famous Gothic, Renaissance, and Mannerist artists. The team at Approach Guides explore nine Last Supper frescoes located throughout Florence, explaining how the fresco style evolved a 250-year period.  One of the most interesting aspects is that half way through this period, Leonardo da Vinci paints his Last Supper in Milan, which impacts every Florentine representation of the Last Supper painted in subsequent years.
