Palazzo Pitti, located in Florence, Italy, is a vast Renaissance palace that stands as a symbol of the city's artistic and architectural grandeur. Originally built in the 15th century for the affluent banker Luca Pitti, the palace was later acquired by the Medici family, who expanded it significantly. Today, it houses several important museums and galleries, including the Palatine Gallery, the Royal Apartments, the Gallery of Modern Art, and the Treasury of the Grand Dukes. The palace is also renowned for its beautiful Boboli Gardens, which feature an array of sculptures, fountains, and meticulously designed landscapes.
