Florence 2019: The Boboli Gardens
Rising up behind Florence's Pitti Palace are the Boboli Gardens which offer a good climb and great views. At the time of our visit (July 11, 2019) there was an installation of works by British sculptor Tony Cragg (born 1949). The exhibition closed in October of 2019.
