FLORENCE, ITALY – To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day, on March 8th all women can visit the Uffizi Gallery for free.
This year, as in the past, on International Women’s Day, all the National Museums in Italy will be open free for women. A joyous occasion, which the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and of Tourism, under its Minister Dario Franceschini, celebrates, along with the free openings, a social media campaign and a special collection of images.
