Boboli and Bardini are often mentioned together, but they come from almost entirely different eras of Florentine history. Boboli began in 1549, designed by the sculptor Niccolò Tribolo for Duchess Eleonora of Toledo as a formal, symmetrical Renaissance garden behind the newly acquired Pitti Palace. After Tribolo's death the project passed through the hands of Bartolomeo Ammannati and then Bernardo Buontalenti, who between 1583 and 1593 built the elaborate Buontalenti Grotto, its walls lined with artificial stalactites, shells, and water features that still surprise visitors today.
The Bardini Gardens next door have a completely different, much more recent story. The land began as a 16th-century Mozzi family estate, but its modern character comes from Stefano Bardini, a wealthy antiques dealer who bought the property in 1913 and reshaped it to his own taste. After his son's death in 1965 the garden fell into decades of neglect, and it wasn't until 2000, and a careful restoration project, that it finally reopened to the public in 2005.
So the contrast this tour sets up is a real one: one garden is a 450-year-old formal Medici showpiece designed for a duchess, the other a much younger, more personal passion project built by a private collector and only opened to the wider public within the last 20 years.
