Where
Piazza Pitti, 1, Firenze
The Porcelain Museum houses the most beautiful porcelain of Europe, bought by Pietro Leopoldo and Ferdinand III: this collection was enriched by the arrival of other porcelain from the historical palaces of Parma, Piacenza and Sala Baganza which, from 1860, had been “sacked” to furnish the Royal
Apartments of the Savoia Family in the Pitti Palace in Florence.
The Museum is located in the 18th century building called the Palazzina del Cavaliere at the top of the
Boboli Gardens. In this pavilion of delights, the Accademici del Cimento gathered and Gian Gastone de Medici took French lessons.
