Fun Facts
In 1490, for the birthday of Lisetta Tornabuoni, a big party was organized, and Lorenzo il Magnifico, her cousin, arrived unexpectedly with some wild animals, two lions and one elephant. What a big surprise! The Medici family loved lions and used the “Marzocco,” the lion on the top of the tower of Palazzo Vecchio, as a symbol of Florence.
