After a full immersion in the Italian Renaissance at the National Gallery, continue your journey just moments away at Locatelli. Renaissance Tour guests are welcomed with a traditional Italian aperitivo, a ritual that has brought people together for centuries.

A beautifully composed platter of prosciutto crudo, capocollo, salame and aged Parmigiano Reggiano, served simply and generously, celebrating the craftsmanship of Italian producers much like the painters you’ve just admired. To accompany it, a glass of Franciacorta Ca’ del Bosco, Italy’s answer to Champagne. Elegant, refined and quietly celebratory, it is the perfect way to reflect on an afternoon of art.

A moment to pause. To savour. To let culture linger a little longer.
