PALAZZO VECCHIO-MEDIEVAL FORTRESS ON THE OUTSIDE; RENAISSANCE PALACE ON THE INSIDE!
The Palazzo Vecchio (Old Palace) in Florence, Italy looks like a defensive fortification on the outside, but inside are beautifully decorated halls, apartments, and chapels. The highlight is the magnificent Hall of 500 (Salone dei Cinquecento), a meeting hall where both Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci once worked side-by-side in a competition to paint two battle murals! For reasons that you will hear, neither of these works survived. You will also see the inside of Arnolfo's Tower as we climb to the top to see magnificent views of Florence. There are also elegantly decorated apartments and halls of royalty, some of which were created for the powerful Medici family. The death mask of the famous Italian poet Dante is also here. Amazingly, in the basement of the Palazzo Vecchio, you can see the ruins of a 1st century Roman theater. Interestingly, even today the Palazzo Vecchio continues to function as a city hall. As you will see, the Palazzo Vecchio is definitely one of the must-visit highlights of Florence, Italy.

Places to see in ( Florence - Italy ) Palazzo Medici Riccardi
Places to see in ( Florence - Italy ) Palazzo Medici Riccardi
The Palazzo Medici, also called the Palazzo Medici Riccardi after the later family that acquired and expanded it, is a Renaissance palace located in Florence, Italy. It is the seat of the Metropolitan City of Florence and a museum.
The palace was designed by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo for Cosimo de' Medici, head of the Medici banking family, and was built between 1444 and 1484. It was well known for its stone masonry, which includes architectural elements of rustication and ashlar. The tripartite elevation used here expresses the Renaissance spirit of rationality, order, and classicism on human scale. This tripartite division is emphasized by horizontal stringcourses that divide the building into stories of decreasing height. The transition from the rusticated masonry of the ground floor to the more delicately refined stonework of the third floor makes the building seem lighter and taller as the eye moves upward to the massive cornice that caps and clearly defines the building's outline.
Michelozzo was influenced in his design of the palace by both classical Roman and Brunelleschian principles. During the Renaissance revival of classical culture, ancient Roman elements were often replicated in architecture, both built and imagined in paintings. In the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the rusticated masonry and the cornice had precedents in Roman practice, yet in totality it looks distinctly Florentine, unlike any known Roman building.
Similarly, the early Renaissance architect Brunelleschi used Roman techniques and influenced Michelozzo. The open colonnaded court that is at the center of the palazzo plan has roots in the cloisters that developed from Roman peristyles. The once open corner loggia and shop fronts facing the street were walled in during the 16th century. They were replaced by Michelangelo's unusual ground-floor kneeling windows (finestre inginocchiate), with exaggerated scrolling consoles appearing to support the sill and framed in a pedimented aedicule, a motif repeated in his new main doorway. The new windows are set into what appears to be a walled infill of the original arched opening, a Mannerist expression Michelangelo and others used repeatedly.
( Florence - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Florence . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Florence - Italy

Cappelle medicee 4K | Tour of Medici Chapels in Firenze
The Medici Chapels (Cappelle medicee) are two structures at the Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence, Italy, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, and built as extensions to Brunelleschi's 15th-century church, with the purpose of celebrating the Medici family, patrons of the church and Grand Dukes of Tuscany. The Sagrestia Nuova was designed by Michelangelo. The larger Cappella dei Principi, though proposed in the 16th century, was not begun until the early 17th century, its design being a collaboration between the family and architects.
