The Tribune provides a stunning backdrop to admire the masterpiece from all perspectives, with its domed ceiling and marble walls.
Gipsoteca Bartolini
The Gipsoteca Bartolini is a hall in the Accademia Gallery that displays a curated collection of 19th-century plaster casts. These casts were created by Lorenzo Bartolini, a highly talented artist of his time, as well as his student Luigi Pampaloni.

Orcagna’s Room
The Orcagna's Room is the third and final chamber in the series that showcases paintings from Florence's Gothic period. It features the works of four brothers: Andrea (nicknamed "Orcagna," meaning "archangel"), Nardo, Matteo, and Jacopo di Cione. Many of their creations are altarpieces.
