About Pitti Palace
|
Outside the Uffizi and across the Ponte Vecchio, is Pitti Palace, majestically looking down on the square of the same name; a monument to the splendor of court, from the Renaissance to the present day. Since the latter half of the 20th century it has gradually become a top-ranking museum, as well as a lively hub attracting contemporary culture, with shows by the greatest names in fashion, music, theatre and contemporary opera.
Visitors can enter the Palace from the monumental 16th century courtyard, the Cortile dell'Ammannati, where they will be given the opportunity to access different areas with four different core collections. The noble floor houses the Palatine Gallery and the Royal Apartments, which display priceless works of art from the private collections of Grand Dukes and Kings (including eleven paintings by Raphael, and masterpieces by Andrea del Sarto, Titian, Caravaggio and Rubens, together with many other treasures). The collection is located inside a splendid residence, decorated and frescoed partly in Baroque style, and partly in Neoclassical style - especially in the richly decorated private apartments, where rooms were inhabited by sovereigns, courtesans and illustrious guests; men and women who have left a mark of their everyday lives, of their passing here over the centuries.
