The Grand Ducal Pharmacy, established in Florence under Cosimo I, was managed directly by the Grand Dukes of Tuscany for the duration of the Medici rule until the death of the last member of the Medici family and continued to operate under the Lorraine dynasty for the next 270 years. Its activity consisted in the production of medical preparations for the Court, its employees, prominent and ordinary citizens. It was not a commercial concern, given the free nature of its activity, and its fame served as an important element of the Medici propaganda.
