The Secrets of Palazzo Pitti Tour:
Palazzo Pitti is one of those buildings that beautifully tells the story of Florence. Built in the 15th century for one of the city’s wealthiest families, this grand residence later became home to the Medici, whose influence can still be felt throughout its halls. Our Palazzo Pitti Tour is designed to show you why this palace remains such an important part of Florence’s heritage.
On our tour, we’ll guide you through the palace’s magnificent rooms, sharing stories about the rulers who once held banquets here, welcomed visiting dignitaries, and shaped Florence’s future. Our journey then continues into the Palatine Gallery. Here, you’ll come face-to-face with paintings by masters like Raphael and Titian. We’ll point out interesting details about each artwork—clues that can easily be missed—and show you how these masterpieces fit into the larger story of the Renaissance.
By the end of our time together, you’ll see Palazzo Pitti not just as a museum, but as a place where history and art still spark the imagination. We look forward to sharing these stories with you.
