Exclusive private visit of the Vasari house in Florence – Florence, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

During the 16th century, this unique residence was owned by the master Vasari, and after the restoration it was open to the public only for a few years.
Living during the time of Michelangelo and Grand Duke Cosimo I of Tuscany, Giorgio Vasari was a painter, sculptor, architect and author of the famous “lives”, thus becoming a sort of biographer of the major exponents of the Middle Ages and Renaissance in Tuscany.
Among his main works there are the construction of the famous Uffizi Gallery and the annexed Vasari Corridor, which connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti.
The work on this impressive building site lasted about twenty years, and during this time he was given a palace near the Basilica of Santa Croce by Cosimo I de Medici, in which he could stay in Florence.
In this house Vasari created a cycle of frescoes on allegorical and mythological scenes that today is considered a masterful work, and deserve to be seen and admired together with our specialized guide.
