Beautiful! The new Opera del Duomo Museum in Florence

November 1, 2015 By Andrea Leave a Comment

Florence Duomo Museum

On October 30th, 2015 I have been at the Opera del Duomo Museum in Florence, exactly one day after the official re-opening. After buying new spaces, two years ago the museum started a renovation process which meant a limited access for several months, and then one full year of closing. At 9:00 AM there were at least 60-70 people waiting in line to see this brand new wonder in Florence, and I was with them. Come on, I thought, this is going to become like the Uffizi. But instead, as soon as the … [Read more...] about Beautiful! The new Opera del Duomo Museum in Florence

Florence and the Uffizi 3D

The trailer for the art film "Florence and the Uffizi 3D / 4K" has been finally released. Florence is already one of the top tourist destinations in the world, maybe this is why Italy and Tuscany don't spend a lot in promotion (not a good thing in my opinion), but in the next 12 months, thanks to private initiatives, the city of Florence will have an unprecedented visibility. I always wondered why such a beautiful city didn't appear very often in films, but someone in the industry must have … [Read more...] about Florence and the Uffizi 3D trailer

baptistery north doors

After two years of restoration, last night at 9:30 pm the first half of the Baptistery North doors by Lorenzo Ghiberti left the Opificio Delle Pietre Dure to be moved into the new Opera del Duomo Museum. It was a matter of moving a 4,000 Kg work of art for about 500 metres, going through the most suggestive place in Florence: Piazza del Duomo. This is part of a series of interventions on the heritage of the Cathedral of Florence, made for the scheduled visit of Pope Francesco in town between … [Read more...] about Baptistery North doors moved into Duomo Museum
