SALVATORE FERRAGAMO has pledged €600,000 to renovate part of Florence's most famous museum, the Uffizi Gallery. The donation will allow the museum to remodel eight rooms within a year, which will then house 50 works dating back to the 15th century.
"We wanted to do something that would improve the city, to contribute to the Uffizi and Florence, and we were looking for a project that would be long lasting," Ferruccio Ferragamo, the company's president, told WWD.
