The Uffizi is one of the greatest art galleries in the world especially for Renaissance paintings. It is also one of the oldest having been inaugurated by Francesco I de’Medici in 1581. The building that now houses the Uffizi is the former offices (Uffizi) of Cosimo de’ Medici’s court. In 1737, Anna Maria Ludovica, the sister of the last Medici Grand Duke, bequeathed the museum and its art to the city of Florence. By most accounts, the Uffizi is the most visited museum in Italy so you need to book ahead if at all possible. The Uffizi is divided into numbered rooms and guides you along a well marked route from one room to another. The gallery’s most famous and popular paintings are by Botticelli. Both Primavera and The Birth of Venus are in rooms 10-14. The Uffizi survived bomb damage in WWII, extensive flooding in 1966 and a 1993 bomb attack at the Accademia dei Georgofili.
