As one of the oldest museums in the world, Florence’s Uffizi Gallery houses remarkable 13th- to 18th-Century works from the likes of Botticelli, Correggio, da Vinci, Raffaello, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. And soon, you’ll be able to see these Italian works outside of Florence—at museums in the artists’ hometowns as part of a new project called Uffizi Diffusi.
“Art can’t survive in big galleries alone,” Uffizi Gallery director Eike Schmidt told
CNN. “We need multiple exhibition spaces all over the region—especially in the places where the art itself was born.”
