Work will begin shortly to replace the air conditioning systems in the First Corridor of the Uffizi, necessary to equip the Florentine museum with modern air conditioners (the current ones date from the years immediately after the war and are obsolete and malfunctioning). The work will last three months and will unify the First Corridor with the rooms already equipped with modern systems. In order to cause the least inconvenience to visitors, the schedule that the work will have to follow has been decided at the table (interventions are also planned when the museum is closed and at night).
In addition, the glass in the skylight above room 38 (the so-called “Hermaphrodite’s” room), which has suffered rain infiltration in recent days, will be replaced. In this case, operations are expected to be completed within three weeks.
