The Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy, are a prime example of Italian Renaissance landscape design. Located behind the Pitti Palace, these historic gardens cover approximately 111 acres and were originally laid out in the 16th century for the Medici family. The gardens feature a vast array of sculptures, fountains, and grottos, including works from both the Renaissance and Roman antiquity. Visitors can explore a variety of themed sections, such as the Viottolone, a grand avenue lined with cypress trees and statues, and the Isolotto, a small island adorned with exquisite sculptures.
