The Bargello Museum awaits you in a palace built between 1340 and 1345 as a medieval fort. This building served as the first seat of the Florentine Republic, where Dante Alighieri played a role. Later, it transformed into a prison and a site for public executions before finally becoming a convent.
Today, the museum showcases an impressive collection of artworks, primarily sculptures, statues, and bas-reliefs by the greatest Florentine Renaissance artists. You’ll admire masterpieces by Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Giambologna, Benvenuto Cellini, Luca and Andrea della Robbia, Mino da Fiesole, Desiderio da Settignano, and early works by Michelangelo—all set in a stunning fourteenth-century setting.
