Hall of Geographical Maps – Palazzo Vecchio, Florence

The walls of the former Medici wardrobe are lined with walnut cupboards whose doors bear 53 painted maps of the known world, beneath a carved wooden ceiling, with Danti's great globe at the centre. Cosimo I had the room fitted out from 1563 to display the whole world, with maps painted by Egnazio Danti and later by Stefano Bonsignori.
