Housed in the Pitti’s noblest rooms and considered by many to be Florence’s most important art collection other than the Uffizi, this gallery displays many of the best works collected by the Medici and subsequent Lorraine dynasty. The gallery’s showpieces are works by 16th-century artists spread over six main rooms: Venus (with masterpieces by Titian and Rubens), Apollo (with works by Titian, Pietro da Cortona, Rosso Fiorentino and Andrea del Sarto), Mars (Raphael, Rubens, Pietro da Cortona), Jupiter (Pietro da Cortona, Verrocchio, Bellini, Raphael, Andrea del Sarto, Fra Bartolomeo), Saturn (Pietro da Cortona, Raphael, Perugino, Andrea del Sarto) and Illiad (Raphael and Andrea del Sarto). Annexed to the gallery are the royal apartments inhabited by King Vittore-Emmanuele for the short time when Florence was the capital of Italy between 1865 and 1871.
