Uffizi – The Building


The Uffizi Palace was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici and designed by Vasari (16th Century). Many buildings were demolished to make space for building the new palace, with the most important being the church of San Piero Scheraggio.

  The new palace, following the will of Cosimo I de' Medici, had to host the offices of thirteen administrative and judicial magistrates. During the construction of the building, Vasari died and his successors were Buontalenti and Alfonso Parigi. The first designed the Teatro Mediceo (Medici's Theater), as requested by Francesco I, son of Cosimo I, in 1586. This area became the seat of Italy's Senate when Florence was the capital of Italy in the 19th century.



The Uffizi Palace has an unusual U shape, open towards the Arno: two wings of the palace are connected by a corridor with six big arched windows, facing the Arno and the inner courtyard. Statues of famous citizens of Florence from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century fill several niches of the portico arcades which support the two floors of the building.

Nowadays the building hosts the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most visited museums in the world, collecting masterpieces from the 13th to the 18th Century.



In 1993 a bomb at the Accademia dei Georgofili (hosted in one of the bodies of the building) provoked major damages to some masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery. Most of these works of art have been restored and are again accessible to the public.

Uffizi – The Gallery
The very beginning of the Uffizi Gallery was the collection of Francesco I de' Medici to which he dedicated the second floor of the building for his personal enjoyment. The collection became “public and inalienable good” thanks to Duchess Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici whose will it was that it would be open to the public forever.


Today, the Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important museums in the world, with new acquisitions and gifts coming from collectors, private donations, diplomatic exchanges, dynastic and church heritages, patronages, and arts and crafts corporations.

At the Uffizi Gallery you'll have the opportunity to follow the development of middle European painting from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance and Baroque into the 18th century, admiring some of the most renowned works by Cimabue, Giotto, Masaccio, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and many others.
