Excellent
Quizás éste sea uno de los lugares que mejor refleja los claroscuros históricos de la ciudad de Florencia, con sus históricas e inacabables trifulcas entre familias y la sempiterna división de la ciudad en bandos antagónicos. El "Corridoio Vasariano" (Corredor Vasariano) es un pasaje sobreelevado de más de un kilómetro de longitud que une el Palazzo Vecchio con el Palazzo Pitti atravesando la Galleria degli Uffizi. Este corredor, símbolo del poder y la magnificencia de la familia Medici, sólo está abierto al público en periodos determinados. En dichos periodos se organizan como mucho diez visitas (guiadas y solo en italiano) a la semana, siendo totalmente necesario hacer una reserva si se quiere disfrutar de un sitio tan privilegiado. Para más información, consultar en la web que se adjunta en el encabezado de este rincón. El "corridioio" fue construido por iniciativa del Gran Duque Cosimo I en 1565 en ocasión del matrimonio de su hijo Francesco con Juana de Austria, siendo Giorgio Vasari (el arquitecto de los Uffizi) el encargado de llevar a cabo la obra. Esta extraordinaria vía aérea fue pensada para permitir a los Grandes Duques desplazarse con seguridad y sin necesidad de escolta de su residencia privada (Palazzo Pitti) al palacio de gobierno (Palazzo Vecchio). Existen muchas curiosidades relacionadas con este lugar. Por ejemplo, que su construcción provocó el traslado del Mercado de la Carne, ubicado hasta entonces en el Ponte Vecchio, a otro lugar de la ciudad para evitar que los malos olores perturbaran al Granduca (Gran Duque) cuando pasara por allí. En su lugar, se establecieron los talleres de orfebrería que aún hoy ocupan este lugar. Otro caso singular es el de la Torre dei'Mannelli (en la esquina entre Vía de'Bardi i el Ponte Vecchio), cuyos propietarios se opusieron con firmeza a la demolición de esta torre prevista en los planes de Vasari y le obligaron a modificar su recorrido haciendo pasar el Corredor alrededor de la Torre. Pasado el río Arno, el "corridoio" pasa por encima del pórtico de la fachada de la Iglesia de Santa Felicitá. De hecho, el corredor también permitía a los miembros de la familia Medici asistir a misa sin tener que mezclarse con el pueblo.
Perhaps this is one of the places that best reflects the chiaroscuro historic city of Florence, with its historical and endless quarrels between families and the eternal division of the city into hostile camps. The "Vasari Corridor" (Vasari Corridor) is a passage Raised more than a kilometer long which connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti across the Galleria degli Uffizi. This corridor, symbol of power and magnificence of the Medici family, is open to the public only during specific periods. In these periods are organized as much ten visits (guided and only in Italian) a week, being absolutely necessary to make a reservation if you want to enjoy the site as privileged. For more information see the attached web in the header of this corner. The "corridioio" was built on the initiative of Grand Duke Cosimo I in 1565 on the occasion of the marriage of his son Francesco with Joan of Austria, with Giorgio Vasari (the architect of the Uffizi) responsible for carrying out the work. This extraordinary air was intended to allow the Grand Dukes moved safely without escort private residence (Palazzo Pitti) the government palace (Palazzo Vecchio). There are many interesting facts relating to this place. For example, its construction caused the transfer of the Meat Market, located previously in the Ponte Vecchio, to another place in town to avoid disrupting the odors Granduca (Grand Duke) when passed by. Instead, they settled the goldsmiths that still occupy this place. Another special case is the dei'Mannelli Tower (on the corner of Via Ponte Vecchio de'Bardi i), whose owners were strongly opposed to the demolition of the tower under Vasari plans and forced him to change his Corridor route by passing around the Tower. After the river Arno, the "corridoio" passes over the front portico of the church of Santa Felicita. In fact, the broker also allowed members of the Medici family attend Mass without having to mingle with the people.

E' uno dei percorsi sopraelevati su Firenze. Parte da Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria, attraversa la Galleria degli Uffizi e termina il suo percorso a Palazzo Pitti, attraversando Pontevecchio. Costruito per volere di Cosimo De Medici e realizzato dall'architetto Vasari da cui prende il nome. Il corridoio era stato concepito per i Duchi per muoversi in libertà all'interno dei palazzi e delle loro residenze, durante il percorso si possono ammirare collezioni di statue autoritratti e busti del seicento e settecento Fiorentino. Si può visitare solo attraverso prenotazione in alcuni periodi dell'anno.
