The global program of Florentine museums, led from January 2024 by Simone Verde, is illustrated in Rome. “Total progress with Eike Schmidt”

“The Uffizi is the representative of the national museum system in the world. Over the centuries it has represented the prototype of the Western museum. Today we decided to take the center of our institution both at the scientific and public level for a new international projection. ” Simone Verde, in charge of the Uffizi from January 2024, chose the Roman audience of the Association of the Foreign Press in Italy, led by the Dutchman Maarten van Aalderen, to re-describe his plan for the Uffizi to international TV and newspapers, deliberately speaking of the world public that turned into a traditional travel. It is not a book of dreams but projects with dates and times with the science of life, thanks also to his experience as head of scientific research at the AFM/Louvre in Abu Dhabi.

The International Center for Museum Studies was born at the Casino del Cavaliere in Boboli, the first sign for the placement of the Uffizi in a program of international research and education. On 16 July the Fashion Museum reopens in Pitti, with a special international event and installation in which art discussions, presence itself, with fashion. At the Uffizi at the end of July, both the Sala del Ricetto delle Inscriptions and the Sala dei Fiamminghi returned to the public, having been reorganized. At the end of the year we will see a new plan. She will give birth (as expected As expected in May by «la Lettura») a Children’s Museum on the floor of the Uffizi, with the support of the Friends of Florence. In the future, the new monumental ticket office entrance is back, where the exits are now (designed by architects Guicciardini and Magni). So the Piazzale degli Uffizi will be recovered and, in the future (there are already contacts with sponsors), perhaps the most famous crane in the world for its beauty will be dismantled, as it has been hanging on the museum for 14 years. It will disappear , Verde assured, “in a time of human understanding” (The Italian government, as we know, is a monster). In some parts of the Uffizi, new exhibition events and safe spaces. The first part of the iconic building will reopen by autumn Vasari corridor, at the end of the year everything will be open to visitors. And then the sections on the history of the collections in the Uffizi (ground floor), in the Pitti (White Room) where we will visit the deposits of jewels and jewels, and in the Boboli. Also in Pitti, the rooms of the Medici treasure are being rearranged.
