The Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Reale is located in the historic center of Pisa. The Palace, whose construction, between 1583 and 1587, is attributed to Francesco I de’ Medici, overlooks the Lungarni with its facade, while at the back, through two large arches, it is connected on one side to the church of San Nicola and on the other to the 13th-century Casa delle Vedove. Currently also the seat of the Superintendency, it houses the museum in the rooms of the noble floor. It documents the evolution over time of a similar inclination towards beauty of the ruling classes, from the Medicis to the bourgeois collectors of the 20th century. It exhibits the tapestries and furnishings that the Medicis used to adorn the rooms of the palace itself. Among the portraits of the main members of the family, the remarkable effigies of Eleonora di Toledo stand out, wife of Cosimo I de’ Medici by Bronzino, of Cosimo himself depicted with the grand ducal insignia, of Ferdinando de’ Medici dressed as a cardinal by Alessandro Allori. Other monumental portraits of the grand dukes are accompanied by numerous portraits by Ferretti and Tempesti of members of the Lorraine family who succeeded the Medicis in governing Tuscany, and two Savoy kings, Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I. Of particular importance is the collection of ancient armaments from the Gioco del Ponte, rich in over 900 pieces of Lombard craftsmanship from the 15th-18th centuries. Among the privately acquired collections, works attributed to Rosso Fiorentino Rebecca at the well, to the very young Raphael "The Miracle of the two hanged men, part of the predella of the Triptych of San Nicola da Tolentino", by Francesco and Luigi Gioli and the very rich bequest of the surgeon Antonio Ceci with Italian and Flemish paintings, ivory miniatures, medals, porcelain, bronzes, and drawings stand out. Among the most recent acquisitions are paintings by Plinio Nomellini, Spartaco Carlini, Galileo Ghini, Mino Rosi, and Gianni Bertini. Also exhibited are the rich plaster cast collection and the paintings by Italo Griselli, one of the greatest Italian sculptor-portraitists of the first half of the 20th century.
