Inferno Florence Guide is an app for iPhone and Android that allows Dan Brown readers and Florence lovers to explore the city in a fun and innovative way.
Following in the footsteps of Robert Langdon and Sienna Brooks, the protagonists of Brown’s latest book, Inferno, find out accurate, interesting and well-researched information for each of the book’s most important locations.
Written by the editors of The Florentine and developed by d’Uva Workshop, a Florence-based firm specialized in audio tours for the cultural sector, the app lists more than 30 locations around the city, from piazza Duomo to the lesser-known piazzetta Sant’Elizabetta, all of which are mentioned in Brown’s book. The protagonist often stops to describe art historical details at these locations, and visitors to Florence are able to benefit from a more in-depth presentation of this information. Each point is contextualized within the book and expanded upon with additional historical information and tips if you’re visiting, like opening hours or ticket websites. Almost one hour of audioguide by professional English speakers completes the app experience.
