		In addition, Guisti reputes that the realisation of the villa in its completeness is to be attributed to a collaboration between Ammannati and Vincenzo Civitali.

		Art history professor Louis Waldman has been elected as a member of the Florentine Accademia delle Arte del Disegno, an organization of scholars and artists founded in 1563 by Duke Cosimo I. The election recognizes the significant body of scholarship Waldman has contributed to the study of Florentine art and culture during the Renaissance.
		The Accademia is one of the oldest surviving institutions of its kind in Europe, and among the first members were artists such as Michelangelo, Vasari, Bartolomeo Ammannati, and Agnolo Bronzino.
		From its beginnings, the Accademia played a dominant role in the cultural life of Florence, both in educating young artists and in helping to maintain the standards and traditions of Florentine art.

		However, when first built, the fountain would not have seemed so intimidating, because the monument consisted only of the lower level which had many different features from those it has today.
		We know this from the description left by the architect himself (Bartolomeo Ammannati) and from a painting and sketch.
		The original style was inspired by the great monumental fountains of the Ancient Roman period, of which the last remaining example, at least still partly standing at the time, was the showpiece (known as the Trophies of Marius) at the mouth of the old Aqua Julia in what is now Piazza Vittorio.

		Palazzo Pitti, opening on to the Boboli gardens, was a more prestigious and appropriate alternative for the Medici than their residence in Palazzo Vecchio, still the symbol of Florence's Republican past.
		Cosimo and Eleonora decided to turn it into a princely palace and charged Bartolomeo Ammannati with completing and, above all, enlarging the building.
		By doubling its internal volume depth and adding side wings, this bare 15th century building was transformed into the most monumental of the late Renaissance Florentine buildings.
