Pitti Palace offers many reasons for a visit: the palace itself with its imposing exterior, the second-best collection of paintings in town, the garden of Boboli and a host of secondary museums. The Pitti family (rivals of the Medici family) began building it in 1458 with a project by Brunelleschi but run out of money and it sat unfinished until the Medici bought it in the mid-1550s (choosing to keep the name).
The most important thing visit inside is the Palatine Gallery, where we can walk through one frescoed room after another, with ceilings that celebrate the Medici family and walls covered in paintings in gilded frames, from different artists and times.
Boboli it is Florence’s most beautiful and famous park and with its high walls offer a quiet escape within the ancient city. Dotted with statues and fountains, the gardens seem to stretch forever, and its immense natural beauty, historic landscaping, ponds and ornamental plants make it an open-air museum. For those interested in garden design and history, it represents the quint-essential “Italian garden”.
