Description
The powerful Medici family created the Boboli Garden in the sixteenth century behind the Pitti Palace. The beautiful and varied Italianesque garden is home to a large number of statues and fountains.
The estate was obtained by the Medici family in 1549, when Eleonora di Toledo purchased the Palazzo Pitti. Her husband, duke Cosimo I, hired the most reputed landscape gardeners of his time to lay out the expansive garden on the sloping terrain behind the palace. The result was an elegant Italian Renaissance garden with geometric patterns.
