State museums in Italy report record attendance in 2024

More than 60 million visits registered across national sites, including leading institutions such as the Uffizi and the Galleria dell’Accademia.

Applications now open for citizens who will help bridge residents and tourists in the historic centre.

At Florence’s Stazione Leopolda, 90 events and 350 speakers on November 11–12.

According to new data from the Florence Chamber of Commerce, tourism in the area remains 13.3% below 2019 levels.

Starting November 15, 2025, companies whose vehicles are caught stopping outside designated areas will face immediate restrictions.

At the end of the visit, participants exit through the Boboli Gardens, emerging directly into Piazza Pitti via the Rondò di Bacco gate.

Two weeks after Florence banned rickshaws, the city is adjusting while drivers continue to protest.

Three candidates face off at the regional elections on October 12–13, with the center-left favored to win.

The protest is scheduled for October 8 in Piazza della Signoria, right in front of Palazzo Vecchio, where dozens of companies are expected to gather.

The Tuscan capital ranks among the destinations where the impact of mass tourism is considered high.
