Giardino di Boboli

Then follow the walkway that leads to Buontalenti’s grotto with Bandinelli’s statues of Ceres and Apollo, casts of Michelangelo’s Slaves and a second grotto adorned with frescoes of classic Greek and Roman myths and encrusted with shells.

The ramps take you to the amphitheater, where Jacopo Peri’s and Giulio Caccini’s Euridice was staged for the Medici in 1600. At the top of the hill is the Museo delle Porcellane, entered through the Giardino dei Cavalieri.
