Itinerary
On this Private tour, you will explore Pitti Palace and two major attractions: the superb Palatina Gallery and the spectacular Boboli Gardens, in the company of an experienced, fluently English-speaking guide.
The Palatine Gallery encloses Renaissance and Baroque artistry that leaves an indelible impression. Here, we shall be captivated by a curated collection that boasts the grandest assembly of Raphael's works, complemented by the masterpieces of eminent Italian artists like Titian, Caravaggio, and the celebrated female artist of yore, Artemisia Gentileschi. Uniquely set in a sumptuous period ambience, this gallery distinguishes itself from the modern norm. Traverse from hall to hall, where renowned masterpieces await your gaze, set amidst exquisite 17th-century furnishings. This ensemble encompasses tables with semi-precious stone inlays, ornate vases, and awe-inspiring stuccoed and frescoed ceilings.
Leave the Palace behind and enter a splendid open-air museum. Within this space, artists and architects from the Medici court ingeniously turned ordinary orchards into quintessential Italian gardens. Decorated with grottoes, fountains, and ancient and Renaissance sculptures, the Boboli Gardens evolved into a serene retreat for the grand dukes, offering picturesque city vistas and respite from the clamour of busy urban streets. The tour ends inside the Boboli Gardens. After the tour, you can linger in the garden to enjoy the stunning views or visit the nearby Garden of Villa Bardini or the other museums contained within the Palace, like the Gallery of Modern Art and the Treasury of the Grand Dukes, at your own pace with your museum pass valid for the entire day.
