Passage 1 - Uffizi to Double in Size
Italy is to try to turn the Uffizi gallery in Florence into Europe"s premier art museum, with an ambitious 56m euro ($69m) scheme to double its exhibition space. Giuliano Urbani, Italy"s culture minister, said the enlarged gallery would surpass "even the Louvre". By the time work is completed, visitors to the extensively remodeled Uffizi will be able to see 800 new works, including many now confined to the gallery"s storerooms for lack of space. The project – the outcome of nine months of intensive work by a team of architects, engineers and technicians is a centre piece of the cultural policy of Silvio Berlusconi"s government.
With refurbishment plans also afoot for the Accademia in Venice and the Brera in Milan,
Italy is bent on securing its share of market for cultural tourism that is threatened by the Louvre and by the "arttriangle" of Madrid, which takes in the Prado, the Thyssen collection and the Reina Sofia museum of art.
Schemes for the expansion of the Uffizi"s exhibition spaces tretch back almost 60 years. The latest was mooted in the 1990s. But the one adopted by the current government has reached far more advanced stage than any of its forerunners. Rober to Cecchi, the government official in charge of the project, said last month that all that remained to do was to tender for contracts. The target date for completion of the project is 2006.
But the first changes will be seen as early as this month when a collection of pictures by Caravaggio and his school, currently crammed into tiny room on the second floor, is to be moved to larger premises on the first.
Mr Cecchi said the biggest problem was "inserting a museum into a building that is itself a monument". The horseshoe-shaped Palazzo degli Uffizi, begun in 1560, was designed by the artist and historian Giorgio Vasari.
The latest plans are bound to stir controversy, involving as they do the creation of new stairwells and lifts in the heart of the building. There has already been an outcry over one proposed element, a seven-storey, canopy-like structure for a new exit by the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.
At the heart of the plan is the opening up of the first floor, which for decades was occupied by the local branch of the national archives. This will allow visitors to follow a more extensive, and ordered, itinerary that would turn the Uffizi into what Antonio Paolucci, Tuscany"s top art official, called "a textbook of art history".
As at present, visitors will be channeled to the second floor, where they will be able to
study early works by Cimabue and Giotto before moving on to admire the gallery"s extraordinary collection of Renaissance masterpieces, including Botticelli"s Primavera. Asked if the expansion might increase the risk of inducing Stendhal"s syndrome -the disorientation, noted by the French novelist, in those who encounter dozens of Italian Renaissance masterpieces -Mr Cecchi replied fatalistically: "Yes. It"ll double it."
