Episode 2: Florence

Summary

Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark head to Florence, setting out to discover how grand tourists tried to uncover the secrets of the Renaissance in the Italian city. Their journey begins with a climb up to the spectacular dome of the city's cathedral, before they view statues of the biblical figure of David by Michelangelo and Donatello, and visit the Uffizi gallery, home of the Venus de Milo sculpture

Review

Jane Rackham

Rylan is starting to get the hang of this art appreciation lark as he and his unlikely pal Rob Rinder continue their “cultural odyssey” with a visit to Florence.

Rylan is in danger of becoming a bit of a Renaissance man as he marvels at the city’s Duomo and stares in rapture at Michelangelo’s David or Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. “I’m getting it — the experiment is working!” he says excitedly.

He has a bit more to learn, though, as he admits he always thought the word “Firenze”, which he’s seen printed on his reed diffusers at home, meant flammable. He later learns “Florenzer” was once slang for homosexual.
