Lonely Planet review

When Cosimo I moved to Palazzo Pitti in 1564, he got Vasari to build a 1km-long private corridor from the Palazzo Vecchio, through the Uffizi, across the top of Ponte Vecchio, through the Chiesa di Santa Felicita and into their new home. It was a security measure and a means of avoiding the riff-raff. Long home to a collection of secondary art, it is at present closed to the public.
