Among the less known attractions in Florence, there is a Renaissance house privately owned, with frescoes by the great artist Giorgio Vasari. 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”. 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 20 years, and during this time Cosimo I de Medici gave him a palace, 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.
