Vasari Corridor

When I am in Florence, I can think of no better way to beat the crowds than to arrange a private appointment at the Vasari Corridor. What an unbelievable feeling to pass through an unmarked door in the Uffizi – a door that most visitors probably don’t even notice – into the cool, quiet of the Vasari Corridor portrait gallery. The gallery is filled with self portraits – Andrea del Sarto, Rubens, Corot, Ingres, Delacroix, David, and Chagal to name a few. It is actually the largest collection of self-portraits in the Western world; it is also one of the best aerial views to be had in the city. Here I am all by myself, but when I bring seven guests on my Signature trip to Italy, I love to share the Vasari Corridor with them.
