Semi-private tour of the Uffizi Gallery

Get ready to admire some of the most beautiful works of art in the world. A true journey back in time, starting from the thirteenth century, with works by artists of the calibre of Giotto and Cimabue, passing through the sixteenth century, with renowned names such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, to arrive at modern and contemporary eras, also admiring Caravaggio, Gherardo delle Notti and many others.

Strongly desired by Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and created by Giorgio Vasari to house the offices of the Judiciary during the Medici family, today the Uffizi Galleries remain one of the most important and enchanting art exhibitions in the world. Traces of this original office function can be seen outside the building: in fact, you can notice a small corridor connecting Palazzo Vecchio, the seat of government and power, to the first floor of the Uffizi. You will admire unique rooms, with ceilings finely decorated by grotesques, wonderful decorations discovered in the Roman Domus Aurea, throughout the first floor, also called Piano Nobile. You will be enchanted by La Tribuna, an octagonal structure that was originally intended to house priceless treasures from the Medici collections. For this reason it is decorated with six thousand mother-of-pearl shells from the Indian Ocean, as desired by Francesco I de’ Medici and created by Buontalenti. Together with your tour guide and in the tranquility of early morning lights, you can get lost walking around masterful works, such as Botticelli's Venus, Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation, or Caravaggio's The Head of Medusa, to name a few.

All this, accompanied by an expert tour guide, who will illustrate all the details of the works that escape a superficial visit. You will be able to listen to the intrigues, secrets and legends that are linked to this place and the works preserved within it.
