• Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Two buildings separated by
  1. the Uffizi Court seen from the second and foruth floors (1999). If you go to Florence expecting a museum named after Medici, you will be disappointed.
  2. Who was Uffizi? The Uffizi buildings were constructed by the Medici family as their government office building for their financial empire. The word "Uffizi" means "office." There are many paintings of historical significance, but you are not allowed to take photos. However, there are some available from the
