Inaugurated in 1983 in Palazzo Pitti - already famous for being the fashion "temple" of the post-war period - the museum is the first Italian national museum dedicated to the history of fashion, haute couture, the evolution of tastes over the centuries.
The new arrangement of the museum offers visitors a selection of rare and precious dresses accompanied by accessories, shoes, hats, fans, parasols, bags, which present through suggestions and samples a vast collection, with a total of more than 15,000 objects, which will be presented over time according to a rotation grouped by type, theme and leitmotif, while always maintaining the standards of the new arrangement, which aims to propose a journey of the evolution of fashion and taste that can be seen in the historical development from the 18th century to the present day.
Another characteristic element of the new arrangement is indeed the interaction between dresses and accessories and the most diverse art forms, strongly recommended by curator Simone Verde and museum director Vanessa Gavioli, first of all painting, by comparing the magnificent dresses on display with some fascinating portraits and paintings of the same period, which also helps to make fashion through the representation of painters such as Carle Vanloo, Laurent Pecheux and Jean-Sébastien Rouillard, through elegant portraits of 19th-century artists such as Tito Conti, Giovanni Boldini, Edoardo Gelli and Vittorio Corcos, to get to know some of the most relevant artists of the Italian avant-garde, including Massimo Campigli, Giulio Turcato, Corrado Cagli and Alberto Burri. After all, fashion is by definition an art that has always been in symbiosis with the most diverse disciplines, and the new arrangement of the museum aims to recreate an ideal palimpsest where one can also capture at a glance the relationship between the different arts. Thus, not only between fashion and painting, but also between fashion and plastic arts (the pairing between the handle of a porcelain vase and the sleeve of an 18th-century dress is an interesting one); fashion, theatre and sculpture (the relationship between the Mariano Fortuny dress worn by Eleonora Duse and the face of an actress sculpted by Arrigo Minerbi is a particularly fascinating example); but also between fashion and architecture, the dress closely related to the surrounding historical space, the furniture and the frescoes of the Palazzina della Meridiana; and finally ending with a visual dialogue, thanks to the use of video screens, a virtual reconstruction between the current arrangement and the historical one, from those years in Florence, in the Pitti Palace, in those rooms that we can visit again today, when Italian haute couture was establishing itself internationally as one of the most famous and acclaimed in the world of excellence, according to a tradition that still continues seamlessly to this day.

Blessed by God

such a lovely place, the duomo or cathedral is very big that I cannot take a picture of the whole cathedral. Even if I have seen it several times I always love to visit and see it again and again.

Booking tickets on Ctrip for two people was over a hundred yuan more than the official website, but the official website sold out the time slot we needed, while Ctrip was still able to book, which was quite good. Booking in advance and arriving on time to skip the line and scan the QR code to enter was very convenient. The original David was much larger than I expected and much more refined than the replica next to the Palazzo Vecchio. It&#39;s well worth a visit.

Pitti Palace

The Uffizi Gallery is very classic, with a reasonable flow. The works of the masters are worth appreciating slowly. The Pitti Palace is worth seeing, and the interior is not hot. The Medici family is so powerful. The Boboli Gardens are just outside the Pitti Palace. I thought the Pitti Palace Gardens were far away from the Boboli Gardens, so I was still looking for the Boboli Gardens after walking around the Boboli Gardens. My family laughed to death. I accidentally went to the Castle Hill behind and encountered a heavy rain. It was quite pleasant to walk after the rain. I had the energy to continue to watch the sunset at the nearby Michelangelo Hill. We had seen it the day before and didn&#39;t go there
