This fantastic architectural project connects the palazzo vecchio to Palazzo Pitti and was built in 1565 in just five months for the marriage of Cosimo’s son, Francesco, to joan of Austria. The longo corridor crosses the Arno river over the Ponte Vecchio and ends in the Boboli Gardens next to the Grotta del Buontalenti. Almost a kilometre long, the corrido offers unique views of the city and precious collections of art with a total of about eight hundred portrits. In the first part of the corridor, visitors can admire art works from the 17th to the 18th centuries, while over the Ponte Vecchio, the largest collection of self-portraits by Italian, Dutch, German and Flemish artists is displayed.
