More Information
Details: The Pitti Palace was begun during the second half of the fifteenth century by Luca Pitti, but was unfinished at his death in 1472. Tradition says that the palace was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) and built by his pupil Luca Fancelli. The original construction was bought in 1550 by Cosimo I de' Medici's wife, Eleonora of Toledo, and became the official residence of the grand ducal family.
