The Flora Room
Sala di Flora
During the Medici period this room was a part of the service area adjacent to the grand duke's apartment. During the Lorenese period (1770 to about 1790), it was a part of the apartment of Maria Teresa the daughter of Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo.
During the Napoleonic period this area, to include the Room of Fame, was reorganized by Napoloeon's sister Elisa Baciocchi . It provided an ample space for a dining room.
After the return to Palazzo Pitti of Ferdinando III, the rooms were once again separated and became a part of the Palatine Gallery. The ceiling was decorated with allegorical flowers by Antonio Marini.
The room houses primarily Tuscan pictures from the 16th century.
