Firenze Alchemica ®

“Venezia Alchemica” was born as an of the non-profit association “Firenze Alchemica”, as a thin, red thread bonds these two cities full of unique works of art. Firenze Alchemica was born from an idea of ​​Dr. Pier Giuseppe Valmori, biologist, herbalist, profound connoisseur of alchemy and hermetic traditions: knowledge that he gained over the years thanks to Tommaso Palamidessi’s work.

In fact, the purpose of our Association is to rediscover the cities of Florence and Venice and their monuments through symbolism, which has declined according to the uninterrupted Wisdom Tradition present since the beginning of time. Venice was an important center for the spread of the Hermetic Tradition, and “Venice Alchemical” has the primary objective of highlighting those important symbolic presences that make up the hidden story of the many works of art that are part of the cultural heritage of the city.

The promotion and enhancement of these aspects, almost completely unknown until recent times, whose deciphering is based on rigorous studies conducted on printed texts and archival documents, takes place mainly through public conferences, publications and guided tours.

To this end, our Association annually organizes seminars and masters for tourist guides, in order to give them the necessary knowledge to accompany customers and tourists to the discovery of a secret and shrouded Venice.
