Two former ministers are joining the board of directors of the Uffizi Galleries. They are Aurélie Filippetti, a writer, university professor and minister of Culture and Communications in France from 2012 to 2014 under the François Hollande government, and Valdo Spini, a writer, professor of the history of international economic relations, currently president of Aici (Association of Italian Cultural Institutions) and, from 1993 to 1994, minister for the Environment in the Amato and Ciampi governments. Spini himself, in 1992, as chairman of the Committee for the Celebrations of Lorenzo the Magnificent, promoted the Uffizi exhibition dedicated to the 500th anniversary of the death of the lord of Florence, also having the first six rooms of the Levante wing, vacated shortly before (1988) by the State Archives of Florence, where the exhibition took place, restored. Also appointed was Fulvio Cervini, associate professor of medieval art history at the University of Florence.

The board is chaired by Uffizi Galleries director Eike Schmidt, and Stefano Casciu is an ex lege member as regional director of museums in Tuscany. Paolo Fresco, former president of Fiat, and Marco Cammelli, professor emeritus of administrative law at the University of Bologna and former member of the Presidential Council of the Court of Auditors and the Council of State, leave due to expiration of their terms.
