Metal detector installation in Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence kicks off

As of Monday, May 14, 2018, work will begin on the installation and calibration of the metal detector at the Campanile di Giotto. TheOpera di Santa Maria del Fiore has inention to equip all the entrances to the monuments of Florence Cathedral with “transit” metal detectors to make security checks more effective and reduce waiting times.

A total of seven latest-generation devices are being placed at the entrances to Florence Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo. We are talking about the latest-generation devices, used in airports around the world to check people in transit, capable of identifying personal items and allowing them to pass through, lowering the number of unwanted alarms.

In order to allow the installation of this new metal detector, it will be necessary to change the layout of the Bell Tower ticket counter, which will be closed to the public until July 10, 2018, while access is granted as normal. The ticket offices at the Opera del Duomo Museum and the Opera Art and Culture Center will continue to operate.
