        Abstract
        Il tema della piazza viene affrontato a partire dall’antefatto, ovvero dalle particolari condizioni orografiche in cui è sorto il primo nucleo di palazzo Pitti, sorto tra due costoni rocciosi che ne hanno determinato l’orientamento e la posizione a margine della Firenze d’oltre Arno. Dopo numerose proposte elaborate senza esiti tra i secoli XVI e XVII, con il progetto di Giuseppe Ruggieri, si costruisce (1764-1765) il rondò delle Carrozze, dotato di una loggia e una terrazza antistante ad arco di cerchio. Si trova così una soluzione per la piazza che sorge su un piano notevolmente inclinato dell’ultima propaggine a valle della collina di Boboli. La ricerca ripercorre le vicende dei cantieri che si susseguono dal XVIII secolo fino all’intervento di Pasquale Poccianti e alla successiva definizione del torrino del rondò di Bacco che conduce alla Galleria Palatina, mettendone in luce il complesso percorso di proposte e varianti che si sono susseguite nel tempo, attuando anche rilevanti cambiamenti di parti già eseguite. The theme of the square is approached by considering its backstory, namely the specific orographic conditions under which the first core of the Pitti Palace was built, standing between two rocky ridges that determined its orientation and position on the edge of Florence beyond the Arno. After numerous unsuccessful elaborate proposals between the 16th and 17th centuries, the Rondò delle Carrozze was built (1764-1765) to Giuseppe Ruggieri’s design and equipped with a loggia and a terrace in front of it in the form of a circular arch. Thus, a solution was found for the square, which stands on a considerably sloping plane on the bottommost incline of the Boboli hill. The research traces the events of the succession of construction sites from the 18th century up to Pasquale Poccianti’s intervention and the subsequent definition of the turret del Rondò di Bacco leading to the Palatine Gallery. It highlights the complex proposals and variants that followed one another over time, also resulting in significant changes to parts that had already been built.
