As Uffizi Galleries, in Florence, announced some new features that make the museum, one of the most important in the world, more complete.

In the presence of the Italian Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, and the site director, Simone Verde, three rooms with Flemish paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries were inaugurated, in addition to the reopening of the Gabinetto dei Marmi (Marble Cabinet), a space dedicated to antiquity classic that includes a selection of important Roman sculptures from the Medici collection, being the only one from the period with objects in relief on the walls.

On the occasion, Uffizi representatives also presented the institution's newest acquisition: “Lo sposalizio mistico di Santa Caterina”, an oil painting by Frenchman Pierre Subleyras made in the 18th century. (HANDLE)
