The Uffizi Gallery will undergo a "revolution" next year, Director Eike Schmidt told ANSA recently. To begin with, the entire second floor of the Florence museum that was first established in the late 16th century will be dedicated to four Renaissance masters - Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
"The works of Raphael, (which are currently) crowded in a little room on the first floor, (will be brought up) to the second floor," Schmidt explained. "Leonardo will also 'rise' from the first to the second. That way we will reunite them with Michelangelo and Botticelli, who are already there".
