The historic Vasari Corridor in Florence, a 700-meter-long passageway constructed for the influential Medici family, has reopened to the public following an extensive eight-year renovation. This architectural gem, which links the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace, provides visitors with a glimpse into the opulence and intrigue of the Renaissance.
Closed since 2016, the corridor has undergone significant restoration efforts to maintain its delicate structure and improve accessibility for visitors. With its reopening, tourists can once again walk in the footsteps of the Medici, delving into its rich history and enjoying stunning views of the Arno River.
Originally designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1565, the Vasari Corridor served as a private passage for the Medici family, enabling them to traverse the city without being seen. Today, it stands as a symbol of Florence’s cultural and artistic legacy.
As one of the most eagerly awaited attractions in Florence, the newly refurbished corridor is set to attract art and history lovers from around the world, reinforcing its status as a must-visit landmark in Italy.
