  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 29 JUNE 2016: A visitor photographs the "Bacchus" (1595) by Caravaggio at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, on June 29th 2016.<br />
<br />
Art historian Eike Schmidt, former curator and head of the Department of Sculpture, Applied Art and Textiles at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, became the first non-Italian director of the Uffizi in August 2015, replacing Antonio Natali who directed the gallery for 9 years. One of the main goals of the new director is to open the Vasari Corridor to the general public. Currently the corridor can only be visited with group reservations made by external tour and travel agencies throughout the year.<br />
<br />
The Vasari Corridor is is a 1-kilometer-long (more than half mile) elevated enclosed passageway which connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti, passing through the Uffizi Gallery and crossing the Ponte Vecchio above the Arno River, in Florence. The passageway was designed and built in 1564 by Giorgio Vasari in only 6 months to allow Cosimo de’ Medici and other Florentine elite to walk safely through the city, from the seat of power in Palazzo Vecchio to their private residence, Palazzo Pitti. The passageway contains over 1000 paintings, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the largest and very important collection of self-portraits by some of the most famous masters of painting from the 16th to the 20th century, including Filippo Lippi, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Delacroix and Ensor.

  • FLORENCE, ITALY - 3 JUNE 2018: Uffizi curator Francesca De Luca photographs a frame containging Raphael's portrait of Agnolo Tondi, here at its new location  in room 41at the Uffizi, in Florence, Italy, on June 3rd 2018.<br />
<br />
As of Monday June 4th 2018, Room 41 or the “Raphael and Michelangelo room” of the Uffizi is part of the rearrangement of the museum's collection that has<br />
been defining Uffizi Director Eike Schmidt’s grander vision for the Florentine museum.<br />
Next month, the museum’s Leonardo three paintings will be installed in a<br />
nearby room. Together, these artists capture “a magic moment in the<br />
first decade of the 16th century when Florence was the cultural and<br />
artistic center of the world,” Mr. Schmidt said. Room 41 hosts, among other paintings, the dual portraits of Agnolo Doni and his wife Maddalena Strozzi painted by Raphael round 1504-1505, and the “Holy Family”, that Michelangelo painted for the Doni couple a year later, known as the<br />
Doni Tondo.
