About this experience
You will learn why the palace is called Pitti - who he was and why he failed to outshine the Medici family. I will take you through the Palatine Gallery and show you masterpieces of world art, share court secrets and intrigues, and also tell you about the fate of the luxurious palace. And after the tour, you can take a stroll through the magnificent Boboli Gardens.
What to expect
Luxury of the palace's rooms
Royal apartments will transport you to past centuries and immerse you in an amazing atmosphere in which the lives of dukes and kings unfolded. We will admire exquisite antique furniture, rare specimens of Florentine mosaic, and ancient sculptures, discuss the transformations of the palace, its architectural features, residents, and guests. You will also learn why the Pitti Palace is connected to the Uffizi and the government palace Palazzo Vecchio.
Gallery of priceless paintings
Today, Pitti is one of Florence's largest and most interesting museums. Its walls house the Silver Museum and the Carriage Museum, the Gallery of Modern Art, and the Palatine Gallery, where we will proceed next. You will see a unique collection of the Medici dynasty's paintings - the largest collection of Raphael, canvases by Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, learn about the group of artists "Macchiaioli" and their unusual painting style, and also peek into the magnificent 'White Hall', where high Italian fashion was born. If you wish, you can walk along the ancient alleys of the Boboli Gardens in the shade of cypresses and plane trees, enjoying Italian garden art and views of Florence.
