We ended the day at the Pitti Palace, the only real sight on the other side of the river. It's yet another Medici palace, and as described previously they had a corridor built from the Palazzo Vecchio, over the bridge, straight into the Pitti Palace so they never had to mingle with the rest of the city. Because this side of the river is less urban, the Medici had plenty of elbow room, and the residence and garden took on gargantuan proportions. The enormous palace is composed of a dour brown stone with a severe, repetitive pattern to make it about as welcoming as a giant middle finger. Inside is divided among seven different museums displaying the former Medici collections, from masterpiece paintings to souvenir knicknacks.
