Created by the banker Luca Pitti to showcase his economic prosperity and prestige, the enormous Pitti Palace has housed Florentine aristocrats and even the King of Italy. Today the palace is home to several different museums, filled with extraordinary fine and decorative art collections, and has also been the venue for luxurious and renowned fashion shows.
In this guided tour, join Florence resident Kate Bolton-Porciatti as she takes us through select rooms of the palazzo, before we venture on a leisurely stroll in the Boboli Gardens – created by the Medici in the 16th century as a harmonious fusion of greenery, statuary and fountains.
