Downloadable is the first chapter of The Medici Game. Murder at Pitti Palace, the first 3D video game dedicated to an Italian museum and focused on the Medici dynasty. Made for the Uffizi Galleries by Sillabe, in co-production with Opera Laboratori Fiorentini-Civita, by the TuoMuseo association, the video game is available for free in major digital stores with app in purchase, for Ios and Android, in seven languages (Italian, English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese).

The first chapter is set in the White Room of the Pitti Palace, and the protagonist is Caterina, a young art historian with a passion for Medici history, who finds herself inexplicably immersed in a murder carried out in the Medici palace itself.

The adventure begins with Caterina who, with the help of a friend, the night janitor Pietro, sneaks into the Pitti Palace, hunting for a mysterious treasure. As she enters the White Room, she comes across a dying man, struck by a poisoned dart: slumped to the ground, he entrusts her with a notebook with strange symbols before he expires, begging her to flee the palace and destroy it as soon as possible. But it is too late, because Catherine realizes that she is trapped in the building, and getting out, alive, will prove to be no easy mission.

The plot is full of twists and turns and fantasy elements, with numerous art-historical insights into the protagonists of the Medici’s affairs, carefully reconstructed through extensive research. The most striking locations of the Pitti Palace have been faithfully realized on the basis of a meticulous photographic campaign, aimed at restoring the charm of the grand ducal building to players in every detail. The rooms in which the young art historian will find herself are rich in artworks and details, and her investigation will come increasingly into focus, with new mysteries to unravel and unexpected revelations about the Medici family and the fate of the city of Florence.
