The Giardino Bardini, an Italian Renaissance
garden, opened only recently to the public, it is
relatively little-known. The garden boasts many
statues and panoramic views over the city.
Wildlife in the garden includes rock pigeons,
blackbirds and woodpigeons. Access is gained via
the Via de' Bardi, just over the road from the
Museo Bardini in the Oltrarno district of the
city, although the gardens exit onto the Costa di
San Giorgio, onto which the Forte di Belevedere
and the Giardino di Boboli connect in turn.

Palazzo Serristori is one of the most beautiful
examples of Florentine aristocratic architecture,
immersed in a context of rare beauty between
aristocratic palaces and the church of St.
Niccolò, in a unique strategic position
overlooking Arno.The complex belonged for
centuries to Serristori family, one of the most
powerful and illustrious families of the city.
25
The oldest sources on the construction of the
building date back to 1520-22 when Lorenzo
Serristori commissioned a residence in a zone
near the fulling mills in the area of San Niccolò
in Oltrarno. Despite many changes, the palace
kept its sixteenth century structure until the
nineteenth century, when it was radically changed
by Alfredo and Umberto Serristori, two of the
last heirs of the family.
26
The opening in 1873 of Lungarno Serristori, in
the places where a wing of the palace stood, led
to radical changes to the building. The architect
Mariano Falciani was entrusted with the project
and designed the new facade on the river bank and
the prospect of Piazza Demidoff.
27
Palazzo Serristori has been an animated center of
social life and culture throughout the nineteenth
century until almost the present day. Joseph
Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother and King of Spain,
Demidoff family, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Richard
Wagner are among the many distinguished guests
who have stayed in the palace.
28
Piazza Demidoff is one of the small squares of
Oltrarno it is characterized by the garden and
by the monument to prince Nikolaj Demidoff.
29
Until 19th Century at the place of this square on
the side of palazzo Serristori (16th Century)
were an open space and some ancient mills drawing
water from the river, but Florence became
temporary capital of Italy the Lungarno between
Bridge alle Grazie and Piazza Poggi was built,
and the open place was transformed in a more
elegant square. This new square was dedicated to
the Russian noble Nikolaj Demidoff, who had been
ambassador in Florence in the years 1820-1828 and
lived in palazzo Serristori during that years
Demidoff was a great benefactor for the city and
financed several school and assistance institutes.

In 1870 the heirs of Demidoff donated to the City
of Florence the marble monument (a work by
Lorenzo Bartolini) portraying Nikolaj as
benefactor, with children and allegorical figures
of the virtues around him.
31
The cast iron and glass covering was added in
1911, when the sculpture proved to have been
damaged by weather inclemency.For a long time
the monument remained almost completely
abandoned, until it was restored in 1982.

Florence is the capital city of the region of
Tuscany and its rich historical, artistic and
cultural heritage make it one of the main tourist
destinations in Italy and Europe. Founded in the
first century A.C. by the Romans, Florence has
been through many prosperous and dark periods.
The city experienced the battles between the
Guelphs and Ghibellines, it was a Commune and
then a "Signoria" under the Medici during the
Renaissance. It was part of the Grand Duchy of
Tuscany first with the Medici and then under the
Lorraines during the 18th century, up until it
became a part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
Cimabue, Dante Alighieri, Giotto, Brunelleschi,
Donatello, Botticelli and Michelangelo are just a
few of the famous Tuscan artists who contributed
to making Florence such a beautiful and important
city in the world
