MUSEO
BARDINI
The museum was donated to the city of
Florence by Stefano Bardini (1836-1922), internationally renowned merchant
and art connoisseur, who established his prestigious antiques gallery
in the Piazza de’ Mozzi complex, that was then converted into
an impressive neo-Renaissance palazzo. Altars, stairs, portals, columns
and ceilings from churches and palaces were used to create rooms with
an antique atmosphere, which even today can be perceived as one of the
most interesting features of this museum.
The collection contains masterpieces
of painting and sculpture such as the Charity by Tino di Camaino, the
Virgin of the Cordai by Donatello, the Archangel Michael by Antonio
del Pollaiolo and many fine examples of the minor arts: ceramics, medals,
bronzes, oriental rugs, musical instruments and a small but impressive
collection of arms.
