Overview
The Pitti Palace - Palazzo Nuovo as opposed to the Palazzo Vecchio, Old Palace - is where the Medici, and later the Lorraine Grand-Dukes made their homes. If we include the Kings of Italy, three reigning dynasties lived here.
Impressive interiors, state rooms and bright frescoes are waiting for you at the Pitti Palace. You will find here one of the best painting collections of Florence, with masterpieces by Raphael, Rubens, Titian and Caravaggio.
The Palatine Gallery at the Pitti Palace still has the character of a private collection. Items are in the same places they occupied during the Lorraine Period. The placement reflects their personal tastes rather than the now usual chronological museum disposition.
The tour includes a walk through the Royal Apartments and the Museum of the Treasure of the Grand-ducal family. Big and small, all extremely precious, the objects on display are in such quantities that it might be even overwhelming!

Raggiungerlo è un attimo. Attraversato Ponte Vecchio, sempre dritto per qualche centinaia di metri. Il palazzo è stupendo. Non andateci il lunedì che è tutto chiuso… peccato!

Un contenitore di opere, tante di quelle opere pittoriche da rimanere sopraffatti, quasi si fa fatica a riconoscere gli autori più famosi. Tutte ospitate all'interno di sale degne di essere visitate. Peccato per le parti non visitabili perchè chiuse in questo periodo.

De l’autre côté du ponte vecchio le palais pitre est facilement accessible. Des œuvres magnifiques mais il faut les mériter et monter plusieurs étages avant de débuter la visite. Le matin tôt est une bonne astuce car les groupes avec guide ne sont pas encore là. Cafétéria sous les arcades très agréables avé sandwich très bon et bon marché

La verdad que, sin entrar al palacio en sí, sino hubiera sido porque mi guía me contó de todo y aprendí muchas cosas, me habría dejado bastante frío. Pero sus explicaciones me permitieron apreciar mucho mejor lo que significó esta familia en Florencia y su influencia en su historia.

Lindo palacio, muy bien guiado y explicado en la excursion. Majestuosas salas y cuadros , jardín poco cuidado.
