The Castings Room
In this room there are fifty-eight large plaster casts of the decorative silver plates that were given each year to Cosimo III and successors on the Feast of St. John. Executed by several Roman sculptors, they were melted down by the French in 1799. All that remains are the plaster casts for the manufacture of Doccia porcelain. The room also contains 17th and 18tyh century silver services, which the Bourbon family of Parma brought to the Pitti in 1801.
