The inside story
The Palazzo Bargello in Florence is home to the National Museum of Bargello. It is an old and significant building that was first built in 1255 by architect Lapo Tedesco and expanded in the late 13th century. It was a politically important building, being the seat of the city’s mayor following the establishment of Florence as a free county and later in the 16th century it became headquarters of the city guard, and consequentially also a prison and so it remained for nearly 300 years.
The Museum today is a greatly appreciated museum of sculptures and ‘applied’ arts, with a great collection of historical objects of everyday use made out of bronze, wax, ivory and a vast selection of other material.
