Description

Directly behind the Pitti Palace lie the enchanting Boboli Gardens, a masterpiece of landscape design. Originally developed by the Medici family, the gardens established the quintessential Italian garden style that would inspire many European royal courts. They represent the first example of royal gardens in Italy, symbolizing the power and the refined lifestyle of a noble family. A real trip back in time! This vast expanse of greenery, arranged in a formal layout, serves as an open-air museum, showcasing an impressive collection of ancient and Renaissance statues. The gardens are enriched by grottos, including the renowned grotto by Bernardo Buontalenti, and grand fountains like the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean. Later, the Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties expanded the gardens, extending their boundaries along the ancient city walls to Porta Romana. Among its highlights is the Kaffeehaus, an 18th-century Rococo pavilion that offers a rare glimpse of this architectural style in Tuscany, as well as the Lemon House, designed by Zanobi del Rosso in the late 1770s. A visit to the Boboli Gardens is an essential complement to the Pitti Palace experience, immersing visitors in the grandeur of courtly life while allowing them to admire a landscape that, while continually evolving, remains faithful to its original design. To further enhance your understanding and appreciation of these iconic Florentine landmarks, we offer an exclusive eBook, meticulously crafted by our Art historians. This digital guide delve deep into the rich history and art of the Boboli Gardens providing a comprehensive and engaging exploration. After Boboli Gardens, don't forget to visit the Garden of Villa Bardini, a hidden gem where you can admire a breathtaking view of the city of Florence from above.
