This gigantic Renaissance palace looks like it should contain a lot and it does. Luca Pitti first live here; he was a prominent 15th century banker.

Today, it houses multiple museums that are famous in their own right. Thankfully, all these establishments are covered under a joint entry ticket that lasts 3 days (It will take you that long to get the full use out of the ticket; you have 32000 square metres to cover).

The museums are as follows:

• Gallery Palatina: A collection of 500 paintings, mostly Renaissance, some of which are masterworks, in 28 rooms. The gallery is decorated in the manner of a private collection. It’s look is that of high baroque; it contains magnificent frescoes, the most prominent of which are: ‘The Four Ages of Man’; and the five Cosmological rooms ofVenus, Apollo, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
• Royal Apartments: 14 intimate rooms in which the Medici resided. Though royally furnished, they do look to be purposed for day-to-day life.
• Gallery of Modern Art: The collection was intended to honor the prize winners of the 18th century Florentine Academy. Spread over 30 rooms, it now contains paintings mainly from the 19th and 20th century Italian schools of art.

• In spite of the fact that the amazing and definitive spread, the palazzo might have been no adversary to the Florentine Medici living arrangements regarding either size or content.
