Pass By: Corridoio Vasariano, Piazzale degli Uffizi, Florence Italy
This was built by Vasari in five months to celebrate the marriage of Francesco de Medici and Joanna of Austria in 1565 and provides unique views of the city. Nearly a kilometre long, its purpose was to connect Palazzo Vecchio via the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio with the new residence of the Medici dukes at Palazzo Pitti, in the form of a private covered passageway.
Stop At: Palazzo Pitti, Piazza Dei Pitti 1, 50125, Florence Italy
The last residence of the Medici Family.
The majestic Palazzo Pitti was built by the merchant Luca Pitti as an effective demonstration of his wealth and power to his rivals the Medici. In 1549, when the palace was bought by Eleanor of Toledo, wife of Cosimo I, its magnificence was increased and the beautiful Boboli Gardens were laid out behind it. It became the official seat of the Medici dynasty of grand dukes after Cosimo I moved here from Palazzo Vecchio.
