The focus of the exhibition is the reconstruction in the courtyard of the Bargello of the marble fountain designed for the Salone dei Cinquecento in Palazzo Vecchio (and hence referred to as “di Sala Grande”), composed of six large statues.
The (forty) works on display also include the Hercules and Antaeus from the fountain of the garden of the Villa di Castello, as well as bronzes, marbles, drawings and designs from museums in Italy and abroad.
Also on display is the portrait of Laura Battiferri, Ammannati’s wife, a masterpiece by Bronzino.
