Boboli Gardens, over 2,000 visitors for reopening. "Great desire to reappropriate the beauty of our territory."

On the occasion of the first weekend of the reopening of the Boboli Garden in Florence after its closure due to a health emergency, more than two thousand visitors chose to admire the natural beauty of the famous Medici park.

To be exact, from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24, 2128 admissions were recorded, with a peak of 869 people on Sunday.

“In these first days after the reopening of the Boboli Gardens, we hosted more than two thousand one hundred visitors, of whom about seven hundred, thus one third, Florentine residents, and two thirds from all over Tuscany: this shows that the double objective of reconnecting citizens with their history, with their treasures, and of fostering local tourism, is fully working,” commented Uffizi Galleries director Eike Schmidt. “The recovery also manifests itself in the great desire to re-appropriate the natural and artistic beauty that our territory offers in abundance. The Uffizi Galleries are responding enthusiastically to this need: the next stage of our reopenings will be on Thursday, May 28, with the reopening of Palazzo Pitti and the opening of the exhibition on the great seventeenth-century painter Giovanna Garzoni,” he concluded.
