You will pass through a little town called Galluzzo, and after about 2.5 Km you'll see on your right the Pasticceria Fabiani, where you will have to turn to the right (Via del Gelsomino), following directions to Piazzale Michelangelo (this is because the street ahead is reserved for buses and taxis only). Following this street, after about 800 mt you will come to a set of traffic lights where you should turn left (down Viale del Poggio Imperiale) following directions to Piazza Pitti. At the bottom of the hill (after about another 800 metres) you will arrive at a large roundabout in Piazza di Porta Romana (ahead to your right is a large Medieval city gate, so it is easy to recognize). Go through the gate and take Via Romana, which is straight ahead. After about 600 mt you will come to a small square with a column in the middle (Piazza San Felice). Bear to the right of the column and this will bring you into Piazza Pitti (with the large Palazzo Pitti on your right). Go to the end of the Piazza, and park your car where there is a newspaper stand on the right.
