The Museo Nazionale del Bargelo or Il Bargello was named for the police or Constable (Bargello) who ruled from here. Now the National Museum houses one of the most impressive collections of Renaissance sculptures anywhere in the world (namely three stories of treasures by Florentine Renaissance sculptors and a collection of Mannerist bronzes).

Bargello is the oldest administration building of Florence. It was built in 1255. Used as police department and jail. They also used it to execute criminals. Hundred years later, it's using as museum (1st national museum of Italy) nowadays. There are big saloons inside for Michelangelo, Donatello, Giambologna and Cellini. You can also see golden door panels here as i mentioned about them at baptistry tips. Leave a Comment Phone: 39 55 23886 06

I'm not a big sculpture lover. I prefer paintings. But the Bargello had some fantastic sculptures. I highly recommend it, especially if you like sculptures. See Donatello's David. It's small, but great. Leave a Comment Phone: 39 55 23886 06

Located behind the Palazzo Vecchio, on the via del Preconsolo, is the Bargello Museum (Museo Nazionale del Bargello). Housed in the stupendous Bargello Palace (Palazzo del Bargello), built in 1255, the museum contains the most wide-ranging collection of medieval and Renaissance sculpture in Italy.
On show are pieces by Michelangelo (including his first major sculpture, a drunken Bacchus, completed when he was just 22), another David (this one by Donatello) and pieces by della Robbia, Verrocchio and Ghiberti.

This is the National Museum of Sculpture. A visit here will find such masterpieces as Bacchus by Michelangelo and David by Donatello. The building itself was originally built during the 13th Century to house military captain whose duty was to keep the peace. In the 16th century, the Medici made it the home of the "Bargello" or Police Chief. In the courtyard, executions were carried out intil the late 18th Century when they were abolished. Today, the museum is a major attraction. Phone: 39 55 23886 06

A 13th century fortress is now another of the holding places for a fine collection of art works in Florence. The Bargello located near the Piazza Della Signoria is filled with sculptures from various artists. A bronze David by Donatello and some of Michelangelo’s early works are displayed and worth visiting. Leave a Comment

The Bargello Museum contains the most comprehensive range of medieval and Renaissance sculpture in Italy. Notable works include Michelangelo's drunken Bacchus and Donatello's David. Not too far away from the Bargello is Dante's House, a small museum that examines the famous Florentine's life. Leave a Comment

The National Museum has its setting in one of the oldest buildings in Florence that dates back to 1255. Most tourist groups skip it, others who stay in town only a couple of days don't include it in the list of must-see. I found this museum very important, especially for people who know something about art...
Here you can find most famous works by Donatello including bronze David, some works by Michelangelo (1475-1564): Bacchus, the relief representing a Madonna with Child, Brutus and David-Apollo. There are also bronze sculptures by Giambologna... and many more intereting things.
I found about three hours for this museum early in a morning and very gald I didn't skip it. Too bad they don't have a well printed book about the collection, I bought whatever they had. Leave a Comment Phone: 39 55 23886 06
