Russell Crowe is back at the Uffizi. We'll see you again in a couple of years

Florentine morning dedicated to art for Oscar winner Russell Crowe: the star of the colossal The Gladiator (recently starring in The Pope’s Exorcist as Father Amorth) in fact spent over three hours in the Uffizi Gallery.

The actor showed up with his family at the museum very early to take a full tour of the Renaissance masterpieces on the Gallery’s second floor, from Botticelli to Leonardo to the Michelangelo and Raphael rooms. He was especially impressed by the new rooms of artists’ self-portraits, which opened on the second floor just two weeks ago, lingering over many individual works to study their details. Russell Crowe also greatly enjoyed the archaeological exhibition dedicated to Roman finance, Pecunia non olet, allowing himself to be photographed in front of the busts (belonging to the Galleries’ collection) of Hadrian and Diocletian.

The actor had already visited the Uffizi in 2019 and commented, “It was a wonderful morning: I will be back, we will see each other again in a couple of years.” Before leaving the museum with a smile, he graciously granted selfies to staff members and visitors who asked for them.
