Each month we highlight a place of interest around the globe that we consider as unique as Borgo di Vagli.

Masterpieces by Caravaggio and other great artists of the seventeenth century, from Artemisia Gentileschi to Rubens, from Rembrandt to Van Dyck: these are the works present in eight new rooms of the Uffizi, in Florence.
