The National Museum at the Bargello is without a doubt one of the most important and known museums in Florence. Within, the museum exhibits a large collection of sculpture, including the famous bronze David by Donatello.
For art lovers, the Bargello is synonymous of sculpture as the Uffizi is for paintings.
At the Bargello, you can also admire Donatello‘s marble statue David and Saint George, as well as works by Luca della Robbia, Verrocchio and Benvenuto Cellini.
In the room dedicated to Michelangelo one that catches everyone’s interest is Bacchus (above center), among Michelangelo’s first sculptures and one of his very rare profane works, as well as the Tondo Pitti and the Portrait of Brutus.
