Something Old, Something New
Palazzo Medici
This visit to the Palazzo Medici took place six years, to the month, after the first time I saw it. While for me it was a repeat visit, I simply can’t resist seeing Michelozzo’s work again when able. It served as a good respite from the cold rain outside, as I mused about all the people that once walked these gardens, these halls, imagining themselves to be in the center of the world.
Museo dei Marmi
Something I hadn’t seen last time was the collection of ancient marbles held in the basement of the Palazzo, the Museo dei Marmi (or, Marble Museum). These are part of a collection amassed by the Riccardi family, which opened to the public in 2005.
