[edit] Palatine Gallery

According to the museum guide of the Palatine Gallery, this gallery was first opened to the public in 1828 by Leopold II of Lorraine. However, the rooms had been vacated by the ruling family for the rooms on the floor above at the end of the 18th century. From then on they were used for the display of the many works, but not to the general public. JoJan 15:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I think the 18th century view of what constituted the public was very different to that held today. There is no doubt the gallery was visited by the "public" but it was probably in the way that the "public" were traditionally admitted to 18th century "Versailles" - that is those members of the public who maintained a standard of dress not available to the lower classes, those who would not bring in infectious disease, bad manners, or in any other way be undesirable to the occupants of the palazzo.

[edit] specola museum

the specola museum is not part of palazzo pitti, it should be moved else where...--82.104.171.102 18:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It is part of the Pitti Palace complex. Giano | talk 18:33, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
It is not, I live in Florence, if you go the ticket office of the Palace they send you alse where, the info is incorrect, I tried to correct and moved info to another voice (nothing was cancelled).. --Sailko 19:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Well it was designed by Peter Leopold of Lorraine to be part of the palace complex, and has been for many years; so therefore is worthy of mention here. If you wish to expand into a full , proper and detailed page then like the other Galleries it is worthy of one, but in it's minimalist present state I don't see the point. But the present status quo is fine by me, a mention here, and a page waiting to be expanded elsewhere can only be a good thing. Giano | talk 20:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I am sorry if Wikipedia reports incorrect data... From Eyewitness Travel Guide of Florence: "the Museum La Specola is in the Torrigiani Palace, built in 1775 in Via Romana." I can't find anywhere else but in en.wikipedia.com that the specola museum is part of the Pitti Palace. Also in the external links listed, no one indicated the Specola as part of the Pitti Palace. Will someone please send a valid source of that statement that I already tried to correct?? If I don't see nothing in a couple of days I will move again the part about La Specola in the main article about it (where it already is, corrected and developed). I undestrand this is a feature article, so it is a double shame that it says incorrect statements --Sailko 13:58, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
