"The Medici were the first to take an interest in the gardens, establishing the model of the Italian-style garden that became an example for many European courts. The avenues and vegetation were laid out in a rational, geometric order and the gardens were then embellished with grottos, statues and fountains. Opened to the public in 1766, the Boboli Gardens can justifiably be regarded as an open-air museum: of particular interest are the Roman statues and those of Renaissance sculptors like Baccio Bandinelli and Giambologna; the Amphitheatre, where court spectacles were held; and the Grotta del Buontalenti, where Michelangelo’s Prisoners once stood (now replaced by copies)."
