Arts & Culture
The museum was created by Frederick Stibbert (1838-1906). His father was English, his mother Italian. Frederick was born in Florence but was sent to England, as a young boy, to study.
His father, Thomas, was a colonel of the Coldstream Guards, and his grandfather Giles had been Governor of Bengal, in India. Giles accumulated an incredible fortune which passed on to Frederick when he was 21 years old.
He started to collect immediately upon his coming of age and ended up transforming his house in a real museum “which has cost me a great deal of money and much care and effort”, as he wrote on his will. When Frederick died he left the museum to the municipality of Florence, to improve the knowledge of history for the benefit of future generations.
Today the museum is a Foundation according to Stibbert's last will.

The Medici Villa della Petraia is an impressive country residence built on a panoramic terrace in the outskirts of Florence in the small hamlet of Castello. From its position, you have an incredible view over its wide Italian garden and over the valley where the famous Renaissance city of Florence is located.
The Villa Medicea at Castello just a few kilometers from Florence's historical center is an ancient complex which boasts an elegant villa and a splendid Italian garden, second only to the Boboli Gardens in Florence.
The Villa is not accessible to the public since it has been the home of the prestigious Crusca Academy since 1583, a school dedicated to the study of the Italian language. You can, however, visit the splendid gardens without paying!
A little history about the Villa
The villa dates back to the 14th century but it gained prestige only when the Medici Family bought it in 1477. Just imagine: the two masterpieces, "The Birth of Venus" and the "Allegory of Spring", by Botticelli now visited by millions every year at the Uffizi Gallery were specifically commissioned by Lorenzo dei Medici (the cousin of Lorenzo il Magnifico) for this villa.
The villa reached the height of its splendor with Cosimo I dei Medici, Florence's new Duke, who turned it into a magnificent residence to celebrate the greatness of the Medici family. He ordered Giorgio Vasari to restore the villa and Niccolò Tribolo to project the Italian garden.Visit the Villa
La Villa is set in Castello on via Castello 46, Florence, not far from the airport of Florence.
Entrance is free and is open from Monday to Sunday at the following times:
From 8,15 a.m to 4,30 p.m in January, February, November and December.
