Description

The Boboli Amphitheater is one of the main architectures of the Florentine Boboli Gardens in the Pitti Palace, gracing the main axis, centered on the rear facade of the palace. Used as a venue for summer performances (mainly carousels and ballets on horseback of wide scenic scope), it represents the oldest court theater in Florence that has come down to us, after the loss of the teatrino della Dogana and the Teatro Mediceo. From the amphitheater there is a beautiful perspective of the back of the palace, with the wings arranged around the Ammannati courtyard and the Artichoke fountain.
