Pitti Palace Photos

Palazzo Pitti in Florence is a Renaissance palace built by the Pitti family and now consists of the Royal Apartments, Palatine Gallery, Museum of Modern Art, Boboli Gardens, Costume Museum, Porcelain Museum and Silver Museum composition. The Pitti Palace is located on the south bank of the Arno River, very close to the Old Bridge and can be reached in about 10 minutes. Palazzo Pitti was originally the residence of the Florentine banker Luca Pitti, later purchased by the Medici family and served as the main residence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Over the generations, the Pitti Palace has stored a large amount of paintings, jewels and valuable treasures. Later, in the late 18th century, the Pitti Palace was used as the center of Napoleon Bonaparte's power, and the unified new Italian royal family also briefly lived here. The palace and the collection were later donated to the Italian people and opened to the public as the largest art gallery in Florence.
