Florence, Italy | Firenze and Boboli Gardens Vlog
Hi & welcome back to part 2 of our Florence, Italy vlog!
In the last vlog we explored Florence and Tuscany, which can be found here:
In this vlog we continue to eat and explore our way through Florence. We also visit the Boboli Gardens of Firenze, and have a lovely last few days exploring this beautiful city before we leave for Roma. We eat a lot of gelato, including visiting a gelateria called Vivoli, as Florence is the birth place of gelato. We also eat street food, and even (FINALLY) at a lovely osteria called La Cantinetta. My mom, sisters, and I were in Florence for a total of 5 nights, which personally we felt was a bit long. It can easily be explored in 3 days, but we did enjoy the extra time to leisurely stroll around this city. Stay tuned for the next and final vlog from our Mother-Daughter Italy 2019 vlogs, as Rome is next!
Thanks so much for watching, and if you enjoy these travel vlogs, please give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss out on what is to come next...

Italy, Florence - Boboli gardens (Palazzo Pitti)
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The Boboli Gardens were laid out for Eleonora di Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici. The name is a curruption of Bogoli, a family from whom land had been bought to construct the garden. The first stage was scarcely begun by Niccolò Tribolo before he died in 1550, then was continued by Bartolomeo Ammanati, with contributions in planning from Giorgio Vasari, who laid out the grottos, and in sculpture by Bernardo Buontalenti. The elaborate architecture of the grotto in the courtyard that separates the palace from its garden is by Buontalenti.

EP. #104 Springtime in Florence: Boboli Gardens
- With the fragrant flowers in bloom, lush manicured gardens, and ideal weather, spring it's the perfect time to visit Boboli Gardens...a classic paradise, hidden from the street behind a 15th century palace belonging to the most powerful Florentine dynasty.

Boboli Gardens, Florence, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The Boboli Gardens is a park in Florence, Italy, that is home to a collection of sculptures dating from the 16th through the 18th centuries, with some Roman antiquities. The Gardens, behind the Pitti Palace, the main seat of the Medici grand dukes of Tuscany at Florence, are some of the first and most familiar formal 16th-century Italian gardens. The mid-16th-century garden style, as it was developed here, incorporated longer axial developments, wide gravel avenues, a considerable built element of stone, the lavish employment of statuary and fountains, and a proliferation of detail, coordinated in semi-private and public spaces that were informed by classical accents: grottos, nympheums, garden temples and the like. The openness of the garden, with an expansive view of the city, was unconventional for its time. The gardens were very lavish, considering no access was allowed outside the immediate Medici family, and no entertainment or parties ever took place in the gardens. The Boboli Gardens were laid out for Eleonora di Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici. The first stage was scarcely begun by Niccolò Tribolo before he died in 1550, then was continued by Bartolomeo Ammanati, with contributions in planning from Giorgio Vasari, who laid out the grottos, and in sculpture by Bernardo Buontalenti. The elaborate architecture of the grotto in the courtyard that separates the palace from its garden is by Buontalenti. The garden lacks a natural water source. To water the plants in the garden, a conduit was built from the nearby Arno River to feed water into an elaborate irrigation system. The primary axis, centered on the rear façade of the palace, rises on Boboli Hill from a deep amphitheater that is reminiscent in its shape of one half of a classical hippodrome or racecourse. At the center of the amphitheater and rather dwarfed by its position is the Egyptian obelisk brought from the Villa Medici at Rome. This primary axis terminates in a fountain of Neptune (known to the irreverent Florentines as the Fountain of the Fork for Neptune's trident), with the sculpture of Neptune by Stoldo Lorenzi visible against the skyline as a visitor climbs the slope. At the top are the panoramic views of Florence, as painted by Camille Corot. Giulio Parigi laid out the long secondary axis at a right angle to the main one, which leads down through a series of terraces and water features, with the bosquets on either side. In 1617 he constructed the Grotto of Vulcan (Grotticina di Vulcano). The gardens have passed through several stages of enlargement and restructuring work. They were enlarged in the 17th century to their present extent of 45,000 meters² (11 acres). The Boboli Gardens have come to form an outdoor museum of garden sculpture that includes Roman antiquities as well as 16th and 17th century works. In the first phase of building, the amphitheatre was excavated in the hillside behind the palace. Initially formed by clipped edges and greens, it was later formalized by rebuilding in stone decorated with statues based on Roman myths such as the Fountain of the Ocean sculpted by Giambologna, then transferred to another location within the same garden. The small Grotto of Madama, and the Large Grotto, were begun by Vasari and completed by Ammannati and Buontalenti between 1583 and 1593. Despite the fact that it is currently undergoing restoration work, the Large Grotto's statues continue to be remarkable examples of Mannerist architecture and culture. Decorated internally and externally with stalactites and originally equipped with waterworks and luxuriant vegetation, the fountain is divided into three main sections. The first one was frescoed to create the illusion of a natural grotto, that is a natural refuge to allow shepherds to protect themselves from wild animals; it originally housed The Prisoners of Michelangelo (now replaced by copies), statues that were first intended for the tomb of the Pope Julius II. Other rooms in the Grotto contain Giambologna's famous Bathing Venus and an 18th-century group of Paris and Helen by Vincenzo de' Rossi.

Boboli Garden in Florence, Italy
A Saturday well spent for us is outside, relaxing, taking in new views of a city with a good book in each of our hands, time to think, reflect and just be. :) Laying in the shade of the Boboli Gardens, previously owned by the Medici Family once you closed your eyes the sounds of crickets and who knows what one would've just thought you were laying in the hills of Texas (were I grew up).

Located directly behind the Pitti Palace, these peaceful gardens are also a fascinating open-air museum with a collection of sculptures ranging from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The gardens were designed for Eleonora di Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici, who chose the Pitti Palace as their new residence. The sculptures were added in the 17th century and the gardens continued to be enlargened until the 19th century.
The highlights include the Amphitheatre with statues inspired by Roman myths. The Egyptian Obelisk was brought from Luxor and erected here in 1789. The house of the Lorraine was added in the 18th century as well together with the Kaffeehaus, the Lemon House, and the Palazzina della Meridiana. Neptune's Fountain is located above the amphitheater.

Improvements at the Boboli Gardens
There's been a series of renovations and improvements at the Boboli Gardens meaning they're ready for the summer season.
The Superior Botanic Garden, also called the Ananassi, up until now has been closed to the public, it will now be open from Monday to Friday 9am – 1pm. The space, covering a hectare, includes hundreds of different species of aquatic, tropical and subtropical plants.
Around the gardens 46 new pietra serena benches have been installed. Restorations have also been started on garden statues, the aquatic plant basin and the “secret” passage behind it. Renovations of the orchid greenhouse and refurbishment of the Viottolone dei Cipressi and Viale dei Platani will also take place with more trees being planted.
The Camelia garden will also be opened for the first time; a 300-square-metre space planted in the early 17th century as the exclusive domain of Grand Duke Ferdinand II’s younger brother Mattias. Currently in a state of abandon, its bastions are structurally unsound, and they are expected be restored in 2020-21 before the space can be opened to the public.
