Reservations for Brancacci Chapel, Florence??

Looks like you can make reservations at http://selectitaly.com/museums.php?city_id=16&product_id=145 for $21, which is still more than E5 but a lot less than E30.

Here's a site with a 10 Euro reservation fee: http://www.culturalitaly.com/florencemuseums.htm#brancacci

Janine: For you, a fan of Masaccio, here's the way to make the inexpensive reservation for the Brancacci Chapel frescoes: First, reservations are mandatory to get your 15-minute visiting slot, you can't get in without them. You can get them, for free, if you call the chapel directly, dial 011 39 055 276 8224, it's often busy but be persistent, best time to call is 2 to 3 pm Italy time, which unfortunately is 5 to 6am your time. They will speak English with you. But if all else fails, contact the middle men and pay the extra (it's worth it!).

Janine, following up on above post: As an art student you well know the reservation hassle is worth it, and that you're in for a feast of Masaccios (and Masolino and Lippi) when you get inside. Geniuses walked the streets of Florence back then, men who were painting in a way that no one before them had ever done. I forget exactly how many Masaccios there are (7 to 10?). He only lived to 28 but what a life. As you enter the chapel the first work you see at the top left (I think to the immediate left of Tribute) is Expulsion from Paradise--that he could paint that way back in 1425 when no one had done that before! With 21st century eyes we take the depiction of despair on Eve's face for granted, but one of the things I've learned in Europe is the true meaning of genius: to have done something no one before ever did, to have that inspiration. And then looking to the right of Expulsion is your favorite, Payment of the Tribute Money. It's worth the phone call at 6am or midnight your time, or going the middle man route, either way!
