The Boboli Gardens, in Italian I Giardini di Boboli, form a famous park in Florence, Italy, that is home to a distinguished collection of sculptures dating from the 16th through the 18th centuries, with some Roman antiquities. Οι κήποι του Μπομπολι, στα ιταλικά I Giardini di Boboli, είναι ένα διάσημο πάρκο στην Φλωρεντία της Ιταλίας, που φιλοξενεί μια διακεκριμένη συλλογή γλυπτών που χρονολογούνται από τον 16ο με 18ο αιώνα, και μερικές ρωμαϊκές αρχαιότητες.

Directly behind Pitti Palace are the marvellous Boboli Gardens. The Medici family established the layout of the gardensand the subsequent Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties further developed the layout, extending the boundaries that flank the ancient city walls until Porta Romana. Today the garden is part of the Uffizi Galleries.

Florence is a city of stone, of imposing civic, religious and domestic architecture—where power and wealth are communicated in girth and in height.
