The Uffizi Gallery is located in the Florentine palace of the same name. Its construction was begun in 1560 by the painter and architect Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574) under the directives of Cosimo I de’ Medici (1519-1574). The valuable collection of artistic pieces owned by this family gave rise to the museum, which was opened to the public in 1765. The online catalogue gives access to more than 4000 items; these can be sorted by author, object, subject or catalogue number. The rooms dedicated to the Sienese Trecento, with works by Duccio and Simone Martini, the International Gothic (Gentile da Fabriano, Jacopo Bellini) and those dedicated to the Renaissance, with the absolute prominence of Sandro Botticelli.
