Elenora of Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de' Medici, initiated the landscaping of the Boboli Gardens, directed originally by Niccolu Pericoli detto Tribolo, and later by Davide Fortini and Giorgio Vasari. Numerous 15th and 17th century marble statues, an outdoor amphitheater, a grotto and multiple fountains compliment the lush gardens. Entrance to the Boboli Gardens includes entrance to the Silver, Porcelain and Costume Galleries. These galleries housed in the former summer apartments of the Medici dukes are now used to display period furniture, costumes, silverware, carved vases, amber, gems, cameos, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, and enamels.
