Precious, small sculptures from the Medici collections, dating from Francesco I de' Medici's original collection up to the Grand Duke Leopoldo, are on display in Florence up to November 2 at the Gallerie degli Uffizi.
The exhibition opens with a handful of examples illustrating the characteristics of small-format sculptures of the Classical era carved in the round from precious stones. The overall corpus of these objects d'art from the ancient world currently comprises some 400,000 known items.
