In Florence there are some places to visit related to keyboards 
instruments.
The Accademia Bartolomeo Cristofori is a nice place with a collection of 
fortepianos and an annected workshop of fortepiano restoration 
(http://www.accademiacristofori.it/ABC/Home.html).
A Conrad Fleischer harpsichord is in Museum Stibbert 
(http://www.museostibbert.it/).
Many harpsichords are in the Museo degli Strumenti Musicali housed in 
the Galleria dell'Accademia (http://www.accademia.org/it/).
Many important historical organs are in Florence churches.
Enjoy the visit, and don't forget food and vine...in Florence and 
Tuscany is always a wonder !
