Pass By: Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, 50122 Firenze FI, Italy

In 1299 the Florentines decided to build a palace to house the government organizations of the republic, in addition it should have been a building representative of the power of the republic and the people. Arnolfo di Cambio, the architect of the Duomo of Florence and the church of Santa Croce began this construction on the ruins of the Palazzo dei Fanti and the Palazzo dell' Esecutore di Giustizia in Piazza Della Signoria. As it happened with the great constructions of that time, several generations were needed to complete the work, suffering modifications and extensions.

Cosimo I de Medici ordered a restructuring and decoration of the building during the 16th century to turned into his residence. Thus, it acquires its present appearance and becomes the Ducal Palace. Later, Cosimo I de Medici moved his residence to the Pitti Palace and Palazzo Ducale was named Palazzo Vecchio, becoming the government offices and the place where valuables were kept.

Cosimo I ordered the construction of a corridor that connected the Pitti Palace with the administration offices, currently the Uffizi Gallery, and the Palazzo Vecchio to be able to move from one place to another with more comfort and privacy. This corridor was called the Vasari Corridor.

Pass By: Piazza della Signoria, 50122, Florence Italy

Piazza Della Signoria is an L-shaped square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It was named after the Palazzo Della Signoria, also called Palazzo Vecchio. It is the main point of the origin and history of the Florentine Republic and still maintains its reputation as the political focus of the city

Pass By: Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence Italy

The Ponte Vecchio is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along with it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewellers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.

Pass By: Corridoio Vasariano, Piazzale degli Uffizi, Florence Italy

The Vasari Corridor is a kilometre long passageway that connects the Uffizi Gallery to the Pitti Palace. Today, the corridor still connects the two buildings but it is set up as a small museum separate from the famous Uffizi Gallery.

The entrance to the Corridor is located on the first floor within the Uffizi Gallery behind an unmarked door. It is likely that most visitors that crowd the Uffizi every day don't even know that behind that featureless door stands a great treasure.

Once you've entered the Vasari Corridor it looks like have stepped onto another dimension since the atmosphere is quiet and silent, almost unreal and completely different from the rest of the Gallery.
