It was right here that the Great Giardino di San Marco, later known as Orto dei Medici, was created six centuries ago by the Medici family. It was in this building that Lorenzo the Magnificent used to assemble many young Florentines interested in art to practice drawing his treasures. The old sculptor Bertoldo was tutor to, among others, the great Michelangiolo.
Before the Medici collections in the palazzo in via Larga and in this garden were dispersed in 1494, the original collection of sculptures was enriched with paintings and drawings by Donatello, Filippo Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Angelico and Filippo Lippi. It was no accident that posterity recognised the Garden Orto dei Medici as Europe’s first museum and first art academy.
