Like a very precious treasure, the Uffizi Gallery will grant itself to visitors after some trials: initial incertitude on where to get tickets, lines to get inside, lines at the metal detector, lots of stairs before the access to the top loggia and then... the Gallery will unveil its stunning frescoed ceilings and a long labyrinth of amazing works of art exposed chronologically. This "U" shaped Renaissance building was actually not created as a museum. Cosimo de' Medici had entrusted his favorite architect Giorgio Vasari to create a grandiose building to host the magistrates, the seats of the Florentine Guilds, a vast theatre and judiciary offices (hence the name "Uffizi" which means offices in Italian).
