- After Tribolo's death in 1550 Buontalenti and others took over.
- He also worked on the gardens of the Villa Castello after Tribolo's death.
- In the 1560's, he was appointed designer for the renovation of Cosmio's Villa of Cereto where he built gigantic double ramps leading to the villa.
- One of Buontalenti's early mechanical devices was a child's toy which was a peep- show.
- Cosimo's son, Francesco, was a keen amateur scientist and he and Buontalenti shared together an interest in mechanics and science.

- Cosimo also died in 1574 and Buontalenti designed the baldachin above his catafalque.
