Never have I ever seen such magnificent gardens, with its glorious Fountain of Neptune, the folly that is the Fontana del Bacchino, and The Isolotto. I can’t wait to visit in the autumn and experience what the change in season brings to this historical garden. ____________________________________________ #florence #italy #firenze #boboligardens #giardinodiboboli #giardino #palazzopitti #pittipalace #grotto #bernardobuontalenti #gardens #italiangarden #renaissance #renaissancegarden #art #artwork #sculpture #sculptureart #architecture #gardenarchitecture #palace #gardendesign #gardendecor #historical #historicplaces #giorgiovasari #bernardobuontalenti #niccolotribolo #bartolomeoammannati #medici #statues (at Giardino di Boboli) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc5yeE2oXDr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
