On December 17, will be inaugurated the first eight new rooms of “Grandi Uffizi”. The event could involve members of the new Italian government, but the mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi, has already criticized the behavior of the national government in the affair.
“I have doubts about the slowness of the works at the Uffizi site managed by Ministry of Culture”, Renzi said in his e-News, a newsletter for the Florentines. “I feel very angry when I see the status of the site – said the mayor Renzi -. Despite this, the City of Florence is working with the Government.
Among the other projects we are working on an agreement that will bring to Italian state about 3 million euros that otherwise would only remain in Florence. The only thing that counts now is the end of the work in the Uffizi site”.
