What do you do if you're the 16th-Century Duke of Florence and you need a way of getting between your two palaces without being seen by anyone? You build a 1km passageway 3 floors up in the air, of course...

I visited the corridor in 2015! It was super interesting. You enter the corridor from inside the Uffizi, through two huge doors right in the middle of the gallery. The corridor's walls were all decorated by self portraits of different painters, and the view from above the Ponte Vecchio felt special. At the time, it cost me €60 if I remember correctly. It was worth every penny, especially since it's been closed for a few years now.

“…it barges through a couple of houses before crashing out the side of one of them…” I’m imagining a very drunk and unruly corridor stumbling around smacking into things before finding two unfortunate houses, knocking their doors down, and smashing through one of the walls. “Well, I never! Such is the dismal state of corridors these days, where they’re brazenly gamboling about, drunk as a sailor, without even the good grace to be ashamed of their atrocious behavior! Deplorable!” “And how, my fine fellow, and how!”

There's a similar but older secret passageway in Rome linking the Vatican to the Castel Sant'Angelo, called the Passetto di Borgo, built so the Pope could escape to the castle if the city was attacked. By building his own, Cosimo de' Medici was effectively comparing his importance to that of the Pope. Giorgio Vasari is best known for writing 'The Lives of the Artists'- a book about all the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance up until that point, which is the source of much of the biographical information we have about them today.

Florence as such is magnificent! As for the secrecy, there is of course none as far as its existence goes. But no one could see the duke moving from one place to another, which I suppose was his main goal.

We have a similar, almost same corridor in my school, it's an ancient missionary school, a convent. The residence and private part of the convent, the last floor connects one of the buildings that is opposite to it . We were always fascinated by how cool it was and wanted to try it. I'd also found a hidden passageway from one of the staircases of the secondary school that had a narrow lane ahead and it would lead you straight into the nuns quarters. My school's huge and makes me wonder if there were more of such hidden passages all over....

I just got back trying to visit the corridor but couldn't find the entrance. Watching the video I see that I was so close!!!! (Although the thing is still closed from what I've gathered a few minutes ago) Loved the "heavily influenced by cheese" comment xD
