It was supposed to be a home for the uffizi, or offices, of the Florentine magistrates but grew around the awesome collection of art accumulated by the very rich Medici family. The building sits right by the Arno River and inside it offers a view as charming as any one of its myriad paintings can provide. Its visitors will find out about its stormy history—things like a mafia car bomb and floodings that endangered the works of art. In the early years of this century, modernization here was quite extensive making Uffizi one of the leading museums in the world. Works by Titian and Caravaggio count among the over one hundred rooms that make a display of the best Italian art. Meet in these Renaissance works both their creators and sit for Raphael’s “Self Portrait.” See icons like Botticelli’s “Primavera” and stunning “Birth of Venus,” which over time have made her a cultural icon. Walking through the Uffizi is, of course, a requisite when in Florence, but our guide shall ensure that you do not miss out on any one of its major highlights.
