History of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence
The history of the Uffizi Gallery is linked to the Medici family, bankers who rose to power in the 15th century and governed Florence for centuries, collecting works of art by the greatest artists of the time.
The Medici family used to commission the greatest artists of the time with works of art which were then exhibited in their palace.
In 1560, however, Cosimo I de' Medici brought together the 13 most important Florentine magistracies, called Uffici, in a single space that could be more easily supervised by him. The choice of location therefore obviously fell alongside the seat that had been the seat of power since the Republic of Florence, Palazzo Vecchio.
In charge of the project was the artist and architect Giorgio Vasari who designed a U-shaped building facing south on the Arno just near Ponte Vecchio. Furthermore, Vasari connected Palazzo Pitti to Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi to Palazzo Vecchio with the famous Vasari Corridor. Once the building was completed, the magistrates took office but, as early as 1581, the top floor was destined to house the works of the Medici collection which continued to grow until 1743 when the last male heir of the Medici, Gian Gastone, died. His sister, Anna Maria Luisa, survived him for 6 years, before extinguishing the dynasty forever, but she put them out well because she obtained from her successors, the Lorraines, the promise that the collection would remain in Florence forever.
Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena decided to open the Uffizi Gallery to the public in 1769, creating the museum we know today. |
