The Palatine Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art showcase over 500 stunning artworks, each more exquisite than the last.

    Your expert will guide you to key pieces of art like The Birth of Mary and Sleeping Cupid while decoding hidden symbolism and meanings.

Wander into the amphitheater or walk up to the bronze statue of Neptune and take a moment to savor the beauty of the Pitti Palace. Your access also extends to the Garden of Villa Bardini, another green oasis filled with history.
