Uffizi & Vasari Corridor: Medici Secrets & Renaissance Masterpieces
3 hours
Fun Fact: The Vasari Corridor was built in just 5 months in 1565—because when the Medici demanded a private walkway to avoid rubbing shoulders with the public, architects made it happen!
Tour Highlights:
Curated Uffizi Masterpieces: Dive into a handpicked selection of the gallery’s greatest works—from Botticelli’s Birth of Venus to Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo—unpacking their hidden symbols, revolutionary techniques, and ties to Medici power struggles.
Secrets of the Artists’ Studio: Learn how pigments, gold leaf, and underdrawings transformed into timeless art, and how modern X-rays reveal the "ghosts" of changed compositions beneath the surface.
The Vasari Corridor: Walk the Medici’s private skyway, a 1km-long Renaissance marvel lined with rare portraits and offering exclusive views over the Ponte Vecchio and Boboli Gardens. (Psst—its tiny windows let the Medici spy on the city below!)
