Details

Meet with our guide and visit of the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most extraordinary collections of paintings and ancient statues in the world. The creation of the Uffizi Gallery was ordered by Grand Duke Francesco I. His collection of art was enriched by contributions from many members of the Medici family, and passionate collectors of paintings, sculptures and art objects. The Uffizi Gallery collection of 12th century and Renaissance paintings contains some of the greatest masterpieces of art ever created, including works by Giotto, Simone Martini, Piero della Francesca, Beato Angelico, Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Mantegna, Correggio, Leonardo, Raffaello, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. The collections of German, Dutch and Flemish painting including Dürer, Rembrandt, Rubens are similarly important.

Next, we will proceed to the visit of the Vasari Corridor, an elevated walkway of more than one kilometer. The Vasari Corridor links the Palazzo Vecchio to the Palazzo Pitti via the Uffizi Gallery. It was constructed by Giorgio Vasari (the Uffizi architect) upon the wish of Grand Duke Cosimo I in 1565 for the wedding of his son Francesco with Giovanna of Austria. This extraordinary aerial way was built to allow the grand dukes to move safely from their private residence to the government palace. It now contains an important collection of portraits and paintings of the 17^th and 18^th centuries.
