The convent of Santa Maria del Carmine keeps a real treasure of Renaissance art: that is the Brancacci Chapel, commissioned by Felice Brancacci and frescoed by the great masters Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi. The tour will help to analyze the scenes of the Stories of Saint Peter, focusing the attention on the stylistic and structural innovations introduced by the young Tommaso, nicknamed Masaccio because of his carelessness – as Giorgio Vasari reports – but become universally known for his revolutionary art.
