Galleria Palatina / Galleria Pitti Description
The entrance to the Galleria Palatina or Galleria Pitti (first floor) is via the ticket sales point to the right of the courtyard. The gallery pictures are not in chronological order but are arranged as part of the decor as an adjunct to the state-rooms and their costly furnishings. The collection was begun about 1620 by Cosimo II and finally made accessible to the public by the Italian kings. The rooms are named after the themes of the pictures they contain or the artists represented.

Especially interesting are the works by Raphael (1483-1520), Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530), Titian (1490-1576), Tintoretto (1518-1594) and Rubens (1577-1640).

The Sala di Venere and the first paintings are reached from the staircase
