Glimpse of the Amphitheatre of the Boboli Gardens of Palazzo Pitti in a sunny autumn day in the centre of Florence, Unesco Site, Tuscany, Italy
The Amphitheatre, designed by Niccolò Pericoli knows as Tribolo for Eleonora di Toledo and built in 1550 after the architect’s death, was designed as a garden or rather an amphitheater of greenery (Anfiteatro di Verzura) which involved the ingenious transformation of the quarry used to supply the material for the Pitti Palace. It was Cosimo II who, during the enlargement works of the Palace, decided to transform the quarry into a walled amphitheater. Ferdinando II later ordered the continuation of the works in 1630 under the guidance of Giulio Parigi, and the project was concluded in 1634.
