Galleria Palatina in Palazzo Pitti

The Palatine Gallery, located inside Palazzo Pitti in Florence, is one of the most important art galleries in Italy. Set in the opulent state rooms that once served as the residence of the Medici, later the Lorraine, and finally the Savoy families, it houses an extraordinary collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings.The artworks are displayed according to the 17th-century “gallery style,” arranged not chronologically but for visual harmony and decorative beauty. Among its most celebrated masterpieces are paintings by Raphael (Madonna della Seggiola, La Velata), Titian, Rubens, Caravaggio, Andrea del Sarto, and Pietro da Cortona, who also created the magnificent ceiling frescoes.The Palatine Gallery offers a journey through art and history, surrounded by the splendor of the rooms that once witnessed the life of the Medici and Lorraine courts, and later of the Savoy royal family, who made Palazzo Pitti one of the official residences of the Kingdom of Italy.

Giardino di Boboli

The Boboli Gardens, located behind Palazzo Pitti, are among the most famous and important historic gardens in Europe — the first great example of the Italian Renaissance garden, which later inspired many others, including Versailles.Created by the Medici in the 16th century, Boboli beautifully blends art and nature through a harmonious layout of tree-lined avenues, fountains, statues, grottos, and panoramic terraces overlooking Florence. Among its marvels are the Amphitheatre, the Fountain of Neptune, and the spectacular Buontalenti Grotto.More than just a park, Boboli is an open-air museum that embodies the taste, grandeur, and elegance of the Medici court.
