Florence and the Uffizi Gallery
A 2015 Sky Arte, Nexo Digital and Magnitudo Film Documentary, directed by Luca Viotto. Audio in English.
A multidimensional and multisensory journey in the Florentine Renaissance through its most representative beauties. More than 10 museum locations and 150 works of which the central fulcrum is naturally represented by the Uffizi Gallery. The emotional narration, set within a timeless limbo, is entrusted to Simon Merrells who, in the role of Lorenzo the Magnificent, will lead us through the memories of 'his' Florence, in an incessant dialogue between past and present. The film crosses the symbolic places of Florence from the Brancacci Chapel (with the frescoes by Masolino and Masaccio, emblem of the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance) to the Bargello Museum which houses the David di Donatello; from S. Maria del Fiore with its sparkling windows and Brunelleschi's Dome to Palazzo Medici; from Piazza della Signoria to Palazzo Vecchio to the Accademia Gallery, which houses Michelangelo's David.
The heart of the film is of course the Uffizi Gallery: viewers will be able to access the Tribuna (a place visible to the public only from three external points) and Antonio Natali (director of the Gallery from 2006 to 2015) will accompany us among the works. The narrative excursus inside the Gallery goes from Giotto to Gentile da Fabriano and Piero della Francesca, to Raffaello and Tiziano, from Leonardo's Annunciation to Michelangelo's Toni Doni, without neglecting the symbolic works such as Spring and the Birth of Venus by Botticelli and the Shield of Medusa by Caravaggio, the latter inserted within a chapter dedicated to the 'monstrous' works of the Gallery, including the Madonna della Arpie by Andrea del Sarto, the Calunnia by Botticelli and Giuditta who beheads Holofernes of Artemisia Gentileschi. A pearl of Florence and the Uffizi will be the unveiling of the ongoing restoration of Leonardo's Adoration of the Magi, absent from the Uffizi since 2011.
The Film was made possible also thanks to the patronage of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism the Municipality of Florence and with the support of Ente Cassa di Risparmio Firenze.
