Book Description
Situated across the Arno River from Florence’s busy city center, the 15th-century Palazzo Pitti is one of the city's crown jewels and contains an appropriately splendid collection ranging from early masters like Giotto and Duccio to contemporary Italian artists. The Palace’s major paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects are beautifully photographed here against dramatic backdrops of exquisite frescoed rooms, lush gardens, and lovely reflecting pools. The lively text weaves a web of intrigue, romance, and power in the story of the Medicis's creation of this world-class collection and the magnificent edifice that houses it.
