The Vasari Corridor, a 16th-century elevated passageway in Florence, Italy, has reopened to the public after an eight-year restoration. Designed by Giorgio Vasari in 1565 for Duke Cosimo I de' Medici, the corridor connects the Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi Galleries, and Palazzo Pitti, allowing the Medici family to move safely between their residence and government palace. The restoration, costing approximately $11.5 million, includes accessibility improvements, new LED lighting, and video monitoring. Visitors can now experience unique views of Florence from this historic passageway.
