Musical Instruments at the Accademia Gallery

If you are a music person then you have got a reason to visit the Accademia Gallery in Florence. It has a collection of 50 musical tools in the section which belongs to the Conservatory of Luigi Cherubini. The works of art uncover that music plays a significant part in our ordinary lives. Tourists can trace the roots of the piano invention by discovering the collection of wind instruments, strings and harpsichords. 

The multimedia system in the Accademia Gallery provides the tourists with information regarding the sounds of the musical tools and features along with the festival of grandiose organised by Medici in theatres or villas by pompously exhibiting the quality of the cultural ambience of the 17th century. Viola is an important work showcased at the Accademia Gallery and was produced by Antonio Stradivari in the year 1690. 

The musicians that Medicis appointed as well as the musical tools at Grand Prince Ferdinando’s court were displayed by Anton Domenico Gabbiani in the Accademia Gallery and were painted in the year 1685 as well as 1690. His paintings and portrayal of the attires are so genuine that is was quite obvious to recognise Francesco Veracini and Pietro Salvetti, music directors and composers for the Medicis.
