This lecture will introduce the extraordinary legacy of one of the final members of the Medici Dynasty: Palatine Electress Anna Maria Lusia. Through her forsight and leadership the treasures amassed by her predecessors were entrusted to the city and the state, ensuring Florence would remain an artistic capital to this day.
