Review:
Boboli Gardens are a Florentine park that was originally constructed in the mid-16th century adjacent to the Pitti Palace.
The gardens were landscaped for Eleonora di Toledo, wife of Italian ruler Cosimo I de' Medici, and were constructed by architects Niccolò Tribolo and Bartolomeo Ammanati, with additional input by Giorgio Vasari and Bernardo Buontalenti.
They are among the oldest and most prominent 16th-century gardens in the country, serving as a model for similarly-styled gardens throughout Europe.
Today, they are operated as a public park showcasing a significant collection of sculptures from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, offering expansive views of the city, with water elements developed through irrigation sourced from the nearby Arno River.
