A New Exhibition in Florence Explores the Origins of Italian Fashion

The show traces three key decades of Italian fashion through 50 garments and accessories.

For Florence’s residents and visitors, the crane’s removal means advancement in historical projects and work to further the city’s needs.

The first major opening is expected in the first half of 2026, with the debut of MUNDI, the National Museum of the Italian Language.

After nearly two decades, one of the most debated fixtures of Florence’s cityscape is about to disappear.

Florence is seeing record tourist numbers, but shorter stays are impacting sales of the FirenzeCard, the city’s official museum pass.

The Uffizi Galleries welcomed 5,294,968 visitors over the past year, generating gross revenues of 61.9 million euros.

Uffizi director Simone Verde has confirmed that the tower crane behind the museum will be removed in the coming weeks.

The long-unresolved fate of Sammezzano Castle may finally have turned a corner.

As reported by Il Fatto Quotidiano, the crane that has loomed over the city center since 2006 is set to be dismantled by June 2025.

In Florence, a new contemporary and modern art museum will open by the end of 2025.
