460 years ago, on March 12, the contract to build the Vasari Corridor was signed.
The hidden path above Florence, stretching nearly 800 meters, was commissioned by Cosimo I de’ Medici and designed by Giorgio Vasari.
Built in just five months, it allowed the Grand Duke to move safely from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti, passing through the Uffizi, over Ponte Vecchio, and alongside Santa Felicita, avoiding the bustling streets below.
Closed to visitors since 2016 for refurbishment and structural upgrades, it has been fully restored and is accessible again, in its original "bare" state, just as it appeared when Florence’s rulers once walked its path.✨

✨ March 6, 1475: 550 years ago, Michelangelo Buonarroti was born—a visionary who transformed marble into life and imagination into eternity. From the breathtaking David to the masterpiece of the Sistine Chapel, his art still leaves us in awe.
Florence, the city that shaped his genius, continues to carry his legacy in every corner—Palazzo Vecchio, the Medici Chapels, and Santa Croce, where he now rests.
From our terraces at Antica Torre Tornabuoni, we celebrate the birthplace of a legend. Happy 550th birthday, Michelangelo! ✨
