In the section there is the allegory of Pistoia, a work by Giorgio Vasari: the town is in the background, while in the foreground the lady, symbol of the city, offers to Duke Cosimo I de' Medici an olive branch as a peace-making gift since he has stopped the enmities among citizens. The view below, painted by Giovanni Stradano, shows Piombino. Photo: Simone Lampredi
