If you want to be overwhelmed by beauty, I suggest also visiting the Gallery of Modern Art that occupies an impressive thirty rooms on the second floor of the palace. One of the most important and complete collections of 19th century Italian paintings awaits, especially thanks to the works of the "Macchiaioli": the Tuscan artists who provided one of the most innovative foundations with which Italian painting looked to modernity.
You'll also be able to appreciate the stunning relationship between "container" and "content" here: the rooms were furnished in the first half of the 19th century with frescoes, stuccoes, and period furnishings and thus constitute a perfect setting for the works....
