Step into the world of Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino—one of the most captivating figures of the Italian Renaissance. Join us for a virtual journey that traces the life, legacy, and unmistakable image of a man whose influence shaped both history and the arts.

You may already recognize him from his most iconic portrait: the profile painting by Piero della Francesca, now housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. With his distinctive silhouette—marked by a prominent nose and steady gaze—Federico’s image has become a symbol of Renaissance power, intellect, and refinement.

But who was the man behind the profile?

This tour will take you beyond the frame to explore Federico’s rise from a skilled condottiero to the ruler of one of Italy’s most enlightened courts. We’ll dive into his role as a patron of humanism, his passion for literature and architecture, and his vision in transforming Urbino into a Renaissance jewel. Don’t miss this chance to uncover the fascinating story of a man whose legacy lives on in art, history, and the timeless elegance of the Renaissance.
