Museo Nazionale del Bargello, or Palazzo del
Popolo is a former barracks and prison, now an

in one of the oldest buildings in Florence that
dates back to 1255. Initially the headquarters of
the Capitano del Popolo (Captain of the People)

history. It was the meeting place of the Council
of the Hundred in which Dante took part. It
wituessed sieges, fires, executions, the most
famous perhaps being that of Baroncelli, involved

alterations and additions, still preserving its
harmonious severity, best seen in the beautiful
courtyard, the balcony and the large hall on the
first floor.

68Florence 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
