Uffizi The palace, created to house the administrative offices, was commissioned by the Medici from Giorgio Vasari, in what was an area of brothels and where the ancient church of San Pier Schieraggio was located. One of the oldest and most visited museums in the world, an immense patrimony in a sequence of rooms, one more exciting than the other, full of ancient marbles and masterpieces of the Great Masters of the past. The arrangement of the paintings in the rooms follows a chronological order, leading the visitor through the evolution of painting, from the Middle Ages with artists such as Giotto and Cimabue, to cross the Renaissance with Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian until you get to the art of the seventeenth century, with the rooms where you can admire Caravaggio with his famous Medusa and Bacchus. As of May 2021, 14 new rooms have been opened, displaying works previously in the Vasari Corridor and 16th century masterpieces never shown before. Very interesting is the particular setting that uses the latest generation of glass without refraction and a layout that allows you to stand out and appreciate the works in all their beauty.
