The Palazzo Pitti is a vast, mainly Renaissance palace on the south bank of the River Arno in Florence, Italy, a short distance from the Ponte Vecchio. Its core dates from 1458, when it was built as the town residence of the banker Luca Pitti, and Luca Fancelli and Filippo Brunelleschi are credited as its architects. Bought by the Medici in 1549, it became the chief residence of the ruling family of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and is now the largest museum complex in Florence.
