The underdog of the Pitti Palace museums, the Modern Art Gallery features hundreds of works from the time when even Italians would have agreed that art had moved to France. But that said… these works are pretty hilarious. Playing the “what are they saying?” game with 19th century genre paintings is endlessly amusing, e.g. this woman is clearly saying “you think you can steal my man? You’ll think again when you’re glued to your bed by my snot!” Also, the gallery is home to one of my most favorite works of art: a tabletop sculpture of a secretly pregnant nun, cowering in a corner: “Sixteen and Pregnant… and a Nun.”
