How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A great palace south of the Arno; in the Bonfire of the Vanities chapters it is Savonarola's seat.
The real place
It was begun in 1458 and was still unfinished when Luca Pitti died in 1472. Most of today's huge front came from extensions from 1558 onwards. Savonarola never actually lived there.
Visiting
Several museums and the Boboli Gardens are ticketed separately or together. State museums are free on the first Sunday of the month, but expect queues.
