The garden of Villa La Quiete was built in the eighteenth century by Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, Electress Palatine, and is the last example of a Medici garden. The garden has retained its original forms and is currently being restored thanks to a PNRR funding that will allow for the first time the opening of this space of great historical, artistic and landscape importance, located a short distance from the nearby Medici Villas of Careggi, Petraia and Castello. The presentation of the restoration project will be followed by a visit to the frescoed apartment of the Electress Palatine, where there are images of Medici villas and gardens, allegorical animals, plants and fascinating ruins surrounded by nature.
