Tour description

The Palatine Gallery; journey into the magnificence and splendor of the grand dukes of Tuscany . Welcome to the Medici court

An evocative itinerary in the splendid rooms of Palazzo Pitti defined as the " Florentine Versailles" full of furnishings and decorations, the last seat of the enlightened Medici dynasty, a family that lived the last 150 years of its existence in unbridled luxury, as was usual at the time , which at the same time announced its slow and inexorable decline. Together we will pass through the sumptuous and sumptuous apartments of an era that marked a lifestyle dedicated to magnificence.
We will meet characters such as Cosimo II, disciple and friend of Galileo Galilei, Ferdinand II, a man of culture and science, but also Cosimo III, a bigoted man with no personality, or Giangastone, both incapable of governing and giving new impetus to the already ruinous Tuscan economy. We will have the opportunity to admire 8 fantastic paintings by the great Raphael. In such final desolation, however, the family's desire to amaze the world emerges with an incredible collection of paintings and statues of inestimable value capable of still fascinating thousands of visitors today, which makes the Palatine Gallery a unique museum in the world. Don't miss this opportunity.

Great tour! We really recommend it. Palazzo Pittu is fantastic but it may be overwhelming, and the tour really helped us understand and appreciate better what we saw.
