Pitti Palace

Palazzo Pitti in APP is here at last with the most beautiful public collections of art, @silverware@precious objects@, jewels from the 1400s to the last century. This APP is a great way to discover the four main museums in Palazzo Pitti: the Palatine Gallery, the Medici Treasury, the Costume Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art, and go on a virtual walk in the most magnificent and charming of Italian gardens, the Boboli Gardens.
Raphael’s Madonna of the Chair, Perugino’s Mary Magdalene, Titian’s Concert, Fattori’s Self-portrait, Tommasi’s Spring, the Salzburg Treasure and the Porcelain from the Ming period are just some of the masterpieces on display in Palazzo Pitti.
The apps on the history of Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens are free. You can buy the Museums in two sets: 1. Palatine Gallery – Museum of Modern Art and 2. Costume Gallery – Medici Treasury.
