Palazzo Vecchio is the symbol of Florence, the center of the Florentine community. Center of political life in Florence since 1300, with the historical contrast between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. A building rich in history and art, with the best works of art inside.

Halls and private environments luxuriously decorated by the most famous artists of the Florentine Renaissance, with antique furniture and exceptional works like Giuditta by Donatello, the Genio della Vittoria by Michelangelo and Putto by Verrocchio. Palazzo Vecchio, hub of the Florentine government for over seven centuries, is the monument symbol of the city. Erected in 1299 as seat of the supreme body of the Republic, was transformed into ducal palace in the mid 16th century; today it is the seat of the Municipality of Florence. The tour begins in the Cortile di Michelozzo, decorated with stuccos and frescoes, and continues on the upper floor with the Salone dei Cinquecento, where a majestic painting cycle celebrates the apotheosis of Cosimo de’ Medici and city of Florence, and a rich series of statues accompanies the famous Genio della Vittoria by Michelangelo. On the second floor, there are the private rooms of the Medici Court, all sumptuously decorated and furnished and, among this, the beautiful Cappella di Eleonora, with paintings by Agnolo Bronzino. In the Hall of Geographic Maps, a globe of exceptional sizes and over fifty painted panels offer an extraordinary view of all parts of the world known in the 16th century. The Quartiere del Mezzanino houses a prestigious collection of paintings and sculptures dating back to the Medieval and Renaissance period, donated to the City of Florence by Charles Loeser.

It is the symbol of the city and, for more than seven centuries, the seat of its government. Palazzo Vecchio bears extraordinary testimonies from all the highlights of Florence's history and art. From the remains of the Roman-era theatre preserved underground, we move on to the sumptuous environments of the monumental districts decorated by famous artists of the 15th and 16th centuries, finally arriving at the spectacular panoramic views of the walkway and the tower. Among the masterpieces in the building, the Judith of Donatello, the paintings of Bronzino in the Chapel of Eleanor and the Genius of Victory by Michelangelo. Loggia dei Lanzi is called that because the Guard house of Grand Duke Cosimo I, who gathered under the Loggia, was partly made up of lansquenets. The construction dates back to the period between 1376 and 1382; the loggia was used to house the numerous popular public assemblies and official ceremonies of the Florentine Republic in the presence of the people, Starting from the 16th century, this space was destined to house some masterpieces sculptural, becoming one of the first exhibition spaces in the world. Among the statues most important we find Perseus Benvenuto Cellini
