...prosaically called "The Story of Man," but during the 45-minute film the viewers move from chamber to chamber, eye-witnessing a re-creation of the Greeks' Minotaur myth.

Visitors can now take a guided tour of the Boboli Gardens, central "hospital" for damaged paintings and manuscripts, and watch craftsmen doing the delicate job of restoring the damaged masterpieces in a limonaia (a one-time hothouse for growing lemons...
