The story
The Vasari Corridor (Italian: Corridoio Vasariano) is a 16th-century elevated enclosed passageway in Florence, connecting the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti. It was designed by, and named for, architect Giorgio Vasari to allow Duke Cosimo I de' Medici to move undisturbed between both palaces. Beginning on the south side of the Palazzo Vecchio, the corridor joins the Uffizi Gallery and leaves on its south side, crossing the Lungarno degli Archibusieri, then follows the north bank of the river Arno until it crosses the river at Ponte Vecchio. The corridor winds around the Torre dei Mannelli using brackets, and conceals part of the façade of the Church of Santa Felicità. It then snakes its way over rows of houses in the Oltrarno district, becoming narrower, to finally join the Palazzo Pitti on its eastern side, in view of the Boboli Gardens. The corridor's full length is approximately one kilometer.
