Palazzo Pitti simboli e alchimie nella Sala di Giovanni da San Giovanni 

An Alchemical, historical and sapiential path that is fascinating due to its surprising originality, waiting to be revealed

Palazzo Pitti, the Medici family’s treasure and the “magic” of stones

At Palazzo Pitti, in the first room of the current Medici Treasury Museum, an airy “imaginary loggia” appears which ideally connects that room to the Boboli Gardens.

It was Ferdinando II de ‘Medici who commissioned it to the painter Giovanni da San Giovanni to magnify and immortalize his marriage to Vittoria della Rovere.

Those masterful architectural fantasies hide an unimaginable fabric of symbols and allegories: an alchemical, historical and sapiential path that is fascinating due to its surprising originality, waiting to be revealed.

The visit will also continue inside the Medici Treasury Museum with the symbolic explanation of the precious Medici collection of semi-precious stones and jewels.
