MEDICI CHAPELS – ( CAPPELLE MEDICEE )
Den Medici-kapeller are one of five museums that comprise the Bargello Museums and are majestically situated behind the Basilikaen San Lorenzo. While the Chapels are part of the San Lorenzo kompleks, bureaucratically they are a separate site from the Bargello Museum, Palazzo Davanzati, Casa Martelliog Orsanmichele.
San Lorenzo is historically the parish church af Medici, which is why Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Lorraine chose to move the family members’ remains here in 1791. In spite of their differences, the two remain inextricably linked as symbols of the Medici familie and the power they once held in Firenze:
The crypt and Treasury
A visit to the Medici-kapeller begins in the krypt, one of four sections within the Museum. Den tombs of the Medici grand dukes and their families are here, including those of Cosimo I og Eleanor of Toledo, Giancarlo de’ Medici og Vittoria della Rovere, and the last heir, Anna Maria Luisa, whom Firenze owes the protection of her treasures.
Prinsernes Kapel
Den octagonal space is fit for a king, or in this case, a grand duke, with its jaw-dropping splendor. Designed by Cosimo I to be a monumental family tomb, the mausoleum is entirely covered by polychrome marble og semiprecious stones. The chapel was designed by Giorgio Vasari, court painter and long-time friend of Cosimo I, but construction didn’t begin until much later, in 1602, hvornår Matteo Nigetti was chosen to oversee the project.
The New Sacristy
Before Michelangelos definitive departure to Rom i 1534, this part contains a set of works he created during the decade before he left. This space, aptly named the New Sacristy, is located adjacent to the Old Sacristy, where fire members of the Medici family are buried. Originally accessible through a small door in the church’s right nave, it is now only accessible to museum visitors. It was Pave Leo X who commissioned the sacristy to be completed when the Duke of Nemours died in 1516 og den Duke of Urbino died in 1519. Michelangelo was tasked with the job while he worked on the façade of the church, which remains unfinished to this day.
