About Luca, and About This Site

Luca Moretti has been getting visitors past the queues at the Galleria dell'Accademia since 2022. Born and raised in Florence, he is an art historian and professional tour guide who has built his work around one museum and the sculptor at its heart. He handles timed entry and the practical side of a visit, then turns the art itself into the reason you came: Michelangelo's David, the unfinished Prisoners, and the Renaissance collection around them.

By his own count he has served more than 1,000 international travellers. Guests know him for calm professionalism, punctuality, and commentary that makes the Accademia a highlight of a Florence trip rather than a line to survive.

What this site is

This site is the briefing Luca gives every group, written down: how the timed tickets work, what the official prices are, when to go, how the Accademia compares to the Uffizi, and the stories behind the marble on the blog. The booking route it recommends is one real product: a timed skip-the-line entry sold by the licensed Florence operator My Green Tour srl through GetYourGuide.

How the facts are checked

Luca verifies current opening hours, closing days, official ticket rules, and timed-entry logistics against the museum's official site (galleriaaccademiafirenze.it) and the operator's live GetYourGuide listing as of each publish date. Ratings and review counts shown on this site are the listing's own figures, always attributed. When the official channel is the better deal, the site says so.

How the site earns its keep

Booking links to GetYourGuide are affiliate links: book through them and the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the entire business model, disclosed in the footer of every page and in full on the disclosure page. Questions? Write to us.
