Hotel Lungarno : Florence
PITTI PALACE
The Monumental Apartments take up the main floor of Pitti Palace right wing, and are an important record of the palace history over three subsequent historical periods. Today, they retain the layout given by the Grand Prince Ferdinando dei Medici who lived in this palace until he died (1713). There are still some treasures from the Medici period, including the precious ebony and semi-precious stone cabinet that belonged to the Grand Duchess Vittoria della Rovere. After the extinction of the Medici dynasty (1734), the apartments passed to the reigning House of Lorraine and were therefore restored and re-furnished according to the changing taste of the period. The three different styles that correspond to three different historical periods, are harmoniously balanced in these precious rooms that were reopened to the public in 1993 after the restoration and general reorganisation of the Pitti Palace inventory, made in 1911, that gives us an idea of its appearance before its transfer to the State (1914).
