<\/span>Since 2014, the Uffizi Galleries<\/a><\/strong> connect three fascinating museum complexes \u2013 the Uffizi, the Giardino di Boboli and the Palazzo Pitti<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 through the Vasari Corridor. These three structures, together, make up the core of the art collections of the famous Medici, Habsburg Lorraine and Savoy families. The galleries are an authentic collection of treasures that range from ancient times to the 20th century. The Uffizi Gallery itself occupies the first two floors of the large palazzo on Piazzale degli Uffizi, built from 1560 to 1580, and designed by Giorgio Vasari. Its fame is renowned worldwide for its stunning antique sculpture collection and artworks that range from the Middle Ages to modern times. Among the art collections you\u2019ll find Renaissance paintings that belong to artists like Giotto, Simone Martini, Piero della Francesca, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raffaello, Michelangelo and Caravaggio, to name a few. Flemish, Dutch and German masterpieces are also present in the gallery, as well as the Italian collection of sculptures that belonged to the Medici family.

<\/span>Palazzo Pitti<\/a><\/strong> has been the royal palace for three dynasties\u2013the Medici\u2019s, the Habsburg Lorraine\u2019s and the Savoy\u2019s. It was first acquired by Cosimo I de\u2019Medici and his wife Eleonora di Toledo for the purpose of transforming it into a grand-ducal residence in 1550. Soon, it became the symbol of the Medici family\u2019s power in Tuscany. The palazzo still bears the name of its first owner, the famous Florentine banker Luca Pitti. Today Palazzo Pitti is home to four different museums: the Treasury of the Grand Dukes on the ground floor, the Palatine Gallery and the Imperial and Royal Apartments on the first floor, and the Gallery of Modern Art and the Museum of Costume and Fashion on the second floor.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palazzo Vecchio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Piazza della Signoria<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"palazzo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Palazzo Vecchio<\/a><\/strong> is the political symbol of the city of Florence, located in Piazza della Signoria. It was the former residence of the Medici family and was once the seat of government in Florence. The original project was by Arnolfo di Cambio, who designed a fortress in 1299 that was supposed to rise over the ruins of the Ghibelline towers of the Uberti, who were defeated by the Guelph faction (and also mentioned in Dante\u2019s Divine Comedy). The name Palazzo Vecchio or \u201cold palace\u201d was given to the palazzo after Palazzo Pitti was built, which took the name \u201cpalazzo nuovo\u201d or \u201cnew palace\u201d. Today the building is an art museum, but the interest lies more within the history of the building. Among the must-visit rooms in Palazzo Vecchio is the Sala del Cinquecento with its stunning frescoes originally decorated by Leonardo (who began painting the Battle of Anghiari) and Michelangelo (who began painting the Battle of Cascina), neither of the artworks were ever completed. All the rooms in Palazzo Vecchio have been decorated by extraordinary artists like Donatello, Giorgio Vasari and Michelangelo. In addition to the numerous chambers you\u2019ll also find various secret routes!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Museo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>No art enthusiast\u2019s trip to Florence is complete until he\/she pays a visit to the Stibbert Museum<\/strong>. Sometimes underrated due to its non-central location, the Stibbert Museum is a gem that includes almost 50,000 objects ranging from archeological items to liturgical objects, from Japanese and Middle Eastern armor to musical instruments. The museum was created by Frederick Stibbert, son of a colonel of the Coldstream Guards and grandson of Giles, Governor of Bengal. When Giles passed, Frederick inherited a fortune and started collecting artworks and all sorts of precious objects, effectively turning his beautiful Villa di Montughi into a house museum. After he died, the museum, villa and gardens were given to the city of Florence, leaving knowledge and history to future generations. This museum allows visitors to travel back into time, experiencing artworks in a villa furnished and decorated with antiques from all over the globe. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piazza Strozzi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"palazzo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Palazzo Strozzi<\/strong> is one of the most beautiful Renaissance buildings in Italy, born from the rivalry of the Strozzi family with other Florentine noble families, specifically with the Medici family. As you can imagine, the rich Florentine families were always in competition with one another to have the most marvellous buildings. Thanks to this rivalry we have the stunning Palazzo Strozzi which, in 2006 , became a public-private cultural foundation which organizes ancient, modern and contemporary art exhibitions. If you\u2019re searching for a different kind of art scene in Florence, from contemporary and international exhibits, this is a must-visit. Palazzo Strozzi has hosted artists like Ai Weiwei and Marina Abramovic and always has a special roster of performances, workshops, talks and exhibits in store. Another plus, in comparison to other museums in Florence it is definitely less crowded. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
