Two more exhibitions celebrate the 500th anniversary from the death of Cosimo de' Medici I. Nine majestic wool and silk tapestries hang in the Pitti Palaces’ Sala Bianca and the hall of Niches hosts an exhibition illustrating the restoration of the statue Peasant with his barrel in the Boboli Gardens.
"Weaving a Biography. 17th century tapestries in honour of Cosimo I", sets out to highlight the way in which Ferdinando II de' Medici intended the production of the tapestries between 1653 and 1668 to serve as a dual tribute to the founding father of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
"The First Statue for the Boboli Garden. The Peasant restored." presents the restoration that has breathed new life into the Peasant with his Barrel, the first statue expressly carved for the Boboli Garden by Giovanni di Paolo Fancelli and designed by Baccio Bandinelli.
