Studiolo di Cosimo I, Renaissance studiolo in Italy
The Studiolo of Cosimo I is an emblematic example of a private Renaissance study room.
Constructed in the 1540s, the studiolo was designed for Duke Cosimo I de' Medici.
It showcases the intellectual pursuits of the duke with intricately detailed wood panels and paintings.
Located within the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, it's accessible to the public as part of the museum tour.
The studiolo's secretive nature is symbolized by the hidden door leading into the adjacent room.
