Museo del Bargello
It was from the fortress-like Palazzo del Bargello - built in
the mid-13th century and Florence's oldest still-standing
public building - that the
podestà
(chief magistrate) meted
out justice until 1502. Today the building safeguards
Italy's most comprehensive collection of Tuscan Renais-
sance sculpture, including some of Michelangelo's best
early works. While the crowds clamour to see his
David
,
few rush to view his early works here - rendering the
Bargello an art experience that is both contemplative and highly rewarding.
