Field Trip to the Pitti Palace























On January 14th we took a trip to the Pitti Palace with the class. The Pitti family in Florence was owners of this palace and later the Medici family took over. Inside they exhibited artwork from the Baroque and Renaissance eras along with articles of clothing which was a costume exhibit. The Palace was very overwhelming with the ornate and decorative artwork and architecture. I enjoyed seeing the architecture and was very please that they had the different rooms displayed. The artwork wasn't in chronological order but rather how the family would have or had hung it when they lived there.
