The Pitti Palace is a long, aristocratic dwelling that seems to have landed - along with the somewhat awkward piazza in front of it - amid a warren of small buildings, boutiques, cafes, and repair shops in Florence, across the Arno River from the busy city center. For 300 years the Pitti served as a palace, with its bright and serene expanses serving as a mirror of history, home first to the Medici, Florence's ruling family and the greatest art patrons of their time, and later to the House of Savoy, the imperial family of Europe. Upon its silk-and damask-lined walls hang some of the finest masterpieces in the world.The Pitti Palace Collections features nearly 300 full-color illustrations of the greatest works of art housed within and beyond the glamour of the Pitti itself. Reflected in the pages of this book are several different self-defined collections currently housed within the edifice. The Pitti Palace Collections focuses first on the palace itself; then on the paintings in the Palatine Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art; the porcelain and silverworks collections, as encompassed by the Decorative Arts section; and finally, the unparalleled Boboli Gardens, one of the finest examples of classical Italian garden design anywhere in the world.A text by Alexandra Bonfante-Warren is your guide to this unique experience, revealing not only the magnificent artworks themselves, but also a deeper understanding of the makings of the imperial art collections that lie behind the imposing walls of this incomparable palace.

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.

La complessa vicenda costruttiva e decorativa di Palazzo Pitti si snoda dalla seconda metà del Quattrocento fino al 1920, quando Vittorio Emanuele III ne fa dono allo stato italiano. E' allora che il palazzo diventa museo e viene articolandosi nella Galleria Palatina, nella Galleria d'Arte Moderna, nel Museo degli Argenti e nel Giardino di Boboli. Il volume presenta una lettura di Palazzo Pitti attraverso le trasformazioni e i personaggi che hanno caratterizzato la storia del palazzo e delle collezioni: arte e architettura, ma anche storia e costume, danno un'impronta distintiva a quest'opera di straordinaria importanza e bellezza.

From the Palazzo Vecchio to the Forte Belvedere, through the Uffizi, the Vasari Corridor, the Pitti Palace, and the Boboli Gardens, Florence is honeycombed with a series of public art collections that is unparalleled in Europe for its size and for the variety and value of its holdings. Taken all together, the museums of Florence are one of the wonders of the world, for the spiritual values that they embody as much as for the works they contain.The painting collections in the state museums of Florence are unequalled for their quality, historical significance, and for the sheer number of works; never before have they been presented in a publication of such splendid technical quality. Thus the reader can trace the various phases and great moments of Florentine painting, including lesser known works of the seventeenth century; can appreciate the presence of masterpieces from other, perhaps unknown, schools; and can examine details different from the standard ones consecrated by tradition.Text in English and Italian.

This boxed set features two books showcasing two of the world's most beautiful, prestigious museums: the Pitti Palace and the Uffizi Gallery. 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 the palace's splendid collections ranging from early masters like Giotto and Duccio to contemporary Italian artists. Aside from the palace's major paintings in the Palatine Gallery, its sculptures, decorative objects, and the magnificent Boboli Gardens are beautifully photographed. The lively text weaves a web of intrigue, romance, and power as the story of the Medici family's creation of this world-class collection and the magnificent palace that houses it unfolds. Florence’s Uffizi Gallery, on which construction began in 1560, houses such masterpieces as Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, as well as works by Bronzino, Caravaggio, Titian, and Rubens. Connected to the Pitti Palace by a corridor designed by Vasari that crosses the Arno River, the Uffizi Gallery is a one-of-a-kind museum. This gorgeous oversize book showcases the extraordinary collection, and Alexandra Bonfante-Warren provides fascinating context by relating the story of the museum’s construction and complex history.
