Good to know

In 1993, a car bomb - allegedly organized by the Sicilian Mafia - damaged parts of the palace, destroying three paintings altogether and damaging 30 other pieces. It wasn't until 1998 that a renovated Uffizi reopened the damaged galleries and restored artworks were displayed again.

The gallery was initially built under the request of Granduca Francisco de Medici. The son of Cosimo I was looking to create public offices and a meeting place for bureaucrats.

The 1996 flood from the Arno River saw the city of Florence virtually underwater, with works in the Uffizi Gallery under threat of irreversible water damage. As word spread of the flood, tourists and locals alike rushed to the city in a bid to rescue the artworks. They succeeded and were dubbed, the mud angels.
