INDIAN CHIEF TRAVEL http://beta.indianchieftravel.com A Green Planet: Sustainable, paperless travel guides for destinations around the world. en The Bargello http://beta.indianchieftravel.com/en/italy/tuscany/florence/florence-italy-7 <!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-text field-field-teaser"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p> With its austere fortress-like appearance, the Palazzo Bargello (formerly known as the Palazzo dei Priori) dates from 1255 when it was constructed to house the Capitano del Popolo (the commander of the local militia). It went on to become the seat of the podestà, (the city magistrate who replaced the previous aristocratic rule) and then of the Capitano di Giustizia (the town magistrate) or Bargello, from which it takes its present name. Since 1859, it has been the home of Florence’s National Museum, important for its displays of Renaissance sculpture, which includes works by Ghiberti, Donatello (Niccolò da Uzzano, Marzocco, Cupid, David, St. George), Brunelleschi (including panels from the Baptistery doors), Verrocchio, Ammannati and Cellini (including his Bust of Cosimo I). You will also see works by Giambologna (such as Florence Defeating Pisa and the splendid bronze Mercury) and terracottas by the della Robbia brothers. Look out for Michelangelo’s drunken Bacchus (his first major sculpture, created when he was 22), Brutus, Tondo Pitti and an unfinished David in bronze. </p> </div> </div> </div> <p> <strong>The Bargello</strong> </p> <p> The Bargello can be reached from the Piazza Santa Croce through the well-preserved medieval streets once frequented by Dante and Boccaccio. For your quickest means of arrival, take Via dell’Anguillara and then a right up Via del Proconsolo. The main attraction here is of course the National Museum. </p> <p> <strong>Museo Nazionale del Bargello</strong> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><p><a href="http://beta.indianchieftravel.com/en/italy/tuscany/florence/florence-italy-7" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://beta.indianchieftravel.com/en/italy/tuscany/florence/florence-italy-7#comments Florence Tuscany Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:05:53 +0000 admin 197821 at http://beta.indianchieftravel.com
