    The Gallery of Modern Art is a museum housed on the second floor of the Pitti Palace. There is a vast collection of mainly Italian works from the period from the end of the eighteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth century. There are many works by the "Macchiaioli" and in particular by Giovanni Fattori.

    An interesting collection of 19th and early 20th century Italian paintings by painters mostly not well known outside Italy. However alarms are set to go off if anyone approaches the works more closely than 50 cm, yet the labels next to the pictures are so small that they cannot be read from that distance. As I am an artist I fully appreciate the need to protect the artworks, but the labels should be large enough to be easily read from three feet away. Mine was an intensely frustrating visit. I still don't know who painted some of the most interesting 20th century works.

    (Translated by Google) The Gallery of Modern Art is one of the five museum exhibitions of Palazzo Pitti and all of them deserve to be visited. In addition to this there is the Palatine Gallery, the Treasury of the Grand Dukes, the Costume Museum and the Porcelain Museum. There should also be the Carriage Museum but it is almost always closed. However, the Gallery of Modern Art, so called because when it was inaugurated in the nineteenth century it represented the modern art of that era, is a century-long parade of artistic pictorial and sculptural wonders from the end of the 1700s to the early decades of the 1900s. The Gallery covers almost the entire second floor of Palazzo Pitti and it is really huge that you almost can't see it all. Hundreds of works of art that stun for their beauty and expressive variety. A preciousness that goes almost unnoticed because tourists who come to Florence limit themselves to visiting the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. Palazzo Pitti with its museums represents world-class excellence. (Original) La Galleria d'Arte Moderna è una delle cinque esposizioni museali di Palazzo Pitti e tutte meritano di essere visitate. Oltre a questa c'e la Galleria Palatina, il Tesoro dei Granduchi, il museo del Costume e il Museo delle Porcellane. Dovrebbe esserci anche il museo delle Carrozze ma è quasi sempre chiusa. Comunque la Galleria d'Arte Moderna, così chiamata perché quando venne inaugurata nel XIX secolo rappresentava l'arte moderna di quell'epoca, è una sfilata di meraviglie artistiche pittoriche e scultoree italiane lungo un secolo: dalla fine del 1700 ai primi decenni del 1900. La Galleria copre quasi tutto il secondo piano di Palazzo Pitti ed è veramente enorme che quasi non ce la fai a vederla tutta. Centinaia di opere d'arte che stordiscono per la loro bellezza e le varietà espressive. Una preziosità che passa quasi inosservata perché il turista che viene a Firenze si limita a visitare la Galleria degli Uffizi e la Galleria dell'Accademia. Palazzo Pitti con i suoi musei rappresenta un'eccellenza di livello mondiale.

    È sinceramente interessante sia per le opere fine ottocento e primi novecento, con un'ampia raccolta di ritratti veramente affascinanti, sia per la maestosità delle sale, con i loro affreschi, che da soli valgono l'ingresso. Da non perdere la collezione dei Macchiaioli, con Fattori e Signorini su tutti senza dimenticare gli altri esponenti della loro arte. Dalle finestre si gode una meravigliosa vista sul centro della città. Sinceramente consigliata per opere esposte e per la maestosa collocazione.

    Brilliant museum, not to be missed. The commentary on the work is outstanding as an education for people who appreciate art but don't necessarily know a lot about this period in Italian painting and sculpture. They situated the work in their social and political context as well as within the schools and debates about art at the time. The collection is comparable to the Musee D'Orsay. My knowledge was so enriched by going through the collection. Thankyou to all whose work goes into preserving the collection and giving insight into the meaning and context of the work that people like me couldn't glean otherwise.

    This was an "experience" of the Masters who walked Firenze over the centuries. There are no words, only emotions and feelings of walking, being, and existing in the same place as they were...

    (Translated by Google) The gallery is interesting if a bit boring. Today to get information I called 10 times. Always occupied … (Original) La galleria e’ interessante anche se un po' noiosa. Oggi per avere un’informazione ho chiamato 10 volte. Sempre occupato …

    Bel museo con un vastissimo numero di opere, avendo ognuna una targhetta sul quadro non sempre è facile capire di chi sono le opere ma consiglio a tutti di visitarlo

    (Translated by Google) Another museum inside Palazzo Pitti is very large and full of interesting works: paintings and sculptures that pass before the eyes and by observing one understands and knows another era with all its features. Let's not forget to take a look at the windows, because from the top you can see a beautiful Florence. (Original) Altro museo all' inerno di Palazzo Pitti molto grande e ricco di opere interessanti: quadri e sculture che passano davanti agli occhi e osservando si capisce e si conosce un' altra epoca con tutte le sue caratteristiche. Non dimentichiamo di dare uno sguardo alle finestre , perche' dall' alto si vede una Firenze stupenda.

    per il contenuto sarebbe molto molto interessante. purtroppo i quadri sono tanti, su tre file, con targhette di pochi centimetri che si leggono solo da vicino (e quelle in alto nemmeno da vicino). Ci vorrebbe poco a fare dei pannelli al centro delle stanze con i titoli dei quadri e gli autori. Cosi com'è, è indispensabile la guida per apprezzarlo. A parte l'arte, i quadri di questa galleria hanno anche un valore storico per chi è interessato al Risorgimento. Ci sono moltissimi ritratti di personaggi famosi o che dovrebbero esserlo.

    Mi consejo es HACER LA RESERVACIÓN EN LÍNEA. Porque la fila para comprar en el momento es enorme. Lamentablemente toda la zona de vestidos y cuartos reales estaba cerrada y no fuimos notificados al momento de comprar los boletos ni al hacer reservación en línea. Sinceramente es una experiencia un poco cara (€19) en comparación a otros museos de arte.
