Combo: 'From Palazzo Vecchio to the Uffizi' | Weekend in Italy

This new, integrated ticket allows the general public for the first time to pass directly from the museum of Palazzo Vecchio to the gallery of statues and paintings of the Uffizi using the aerial passageway that connects the two buildings on Via della Ninna.

This covered passage is the first part of the famous Itinerary of the Prince or Vasari Corridor, which connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti along the Uffizi Gallery and crosses the River Arno on the Ponte Vecchio.

Wanted by Cosimo I de' Medici in 1565, on the occasion of the marriage of his son Francesco with Joan of Austria, the corridor takes its name from the famous Giorgio Vasari, trusted architect of the Grand Duke, who completed the construction in a few months. The private corridor allowed the court to move easily between the palaces of the medicean sovereignty, discreetly and in complete safety.

The dizzying covered bridge that crosses the ancient Via di Dogana, today Via della Ninna, is a work of ingenuity and great technical expertise, and connected the two poles of the ducal power.

Duke Cosimo I de' Medici had chosen Palazzo Vecchio, the former seat of the Republican government of the city, as a dwelling place to reaffirm his sovereignty over the Florentine territory, making it larger and transforming it into a sumptuous palace with the help of several renowned artists. After the transfer of the court to Palazzo Pitti, the ancient building had retained its eminent political function and representation. The frescoes, painted wooden ceilings, paintings and sculptures that decorate the open spaces of Palazzo Vecchio are mainly traceable to that period.

The building of the Uffizi, which at the time of the realization of the aerial passage was still under construction according to the project of Vasari himself, was instead wanted by Cosimo to bring together all the judiciary in one palace and thus reorganize the administrative structure of the State, under his absolute control. The building was partially modified by Francesco I, son of Cosimo, who in 1581 transformed the upper floor into a gallery, thus laying the foundation for the transformation into the famous museum that today brings together most of the masterpieces of the Medici collections.

The corridor suspended on Via della Ninna was used as a private passage even in the period of the Lorraine, and was closed in the 19th century following the changes of ownership of the two palaces. So far, it has been open to the public only exceptionally and for guided tours.

Thanks to this integrated ticket, today it is finally possible to visit the two museums, connected by this route, and only upon reservation due to the needs of security and crowding limits.
