Just behind the Pitti Palace lie the stunning Boboli Gardens. These gardens were designed by the Medici family, setting the standard for the Italian garden style that influenced numerous European courts. This expansive green space, with its organized layout, serves as an open-air museum filled with ancient and Renaissance sculptures. Additionally, the gardens feature beautiful grottos, including the renowned grotto crafted by Bernardo Buontalenti, along with impressive fountains like the Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of the Ocean.
