The exhibition considers the different techniques and forms of self-representation, studying artists who taught at or studied at the Florentine Academy - such as Baldassarre Calamai, who depicted himself in a pencil sketch in 1844, or more controversial figures - such as the forger Egisto Rossi, represented here by three drawings. Among the most important self-portraits painted at the end of the century, it is undoubtedly worth mentioning the two self-portraits by the Florentine sculptor Adriano Cecioni (pen) and the Ticino painter Antonio Ciseri (pencil), who moved to Florence at a very young age.
In art prints, the 19th century is represented by three great figures: Domenico Morelli, whose recently purchased rare print, made during his stay in Florence in 1852, is exhibited side by side with another unpublished version of the same subject; Federico Faruffini, with his strange and painful self-portrait; and Giovanni Fattori, who closed the century with his famous zinc etchings, and whose prints and engraving matrices are presented here. Finally, a tribute is paid to a figure who played an important role in the history and formation of the Uffizi collection of works on paper: Anthony De Witt, whose self-portrait dates from 1897, exhibited in the form of a charming etching, corrected in black pencil.
The collection of the Uffizi Galleries’ Prints and Drawings Department is one of the most important graphic collections in the world, both in terms of artistic value and the number of works preserved (about 180,000 sheets). The core of the first systematic ordering of the collection dates back to the mid-17th century, thanks to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici, although some paintings had already entered the Medici collection in the 16th century, thanks to Cosimo I de' Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. In addition to being a largely historic collection, it is a precious testimony of the Grand Duke's patronage and, moreover, a collection that, far from closing, has continued to grow, thanks to constant purchases and donations of older works and donations.

The Basilica of the Virgin of Florence is a symbol of Florence with a unique architectural style and beautiful interior decoration. This church is the first landmark of the Renaissance and its construction marks the beginning of the Renaissance architectural style. It is not only the religious center of Florence, but also the cultural symbol of the city, witnessing the historical changes of Florence.

Pitti Palace is very worth a visit. I went to the Bobori Garden. Bobori Garden is average. But the Biyan Palace collection is rich and should be on the must-see list.

Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence

Santa Croce is also a typical church in Florence, with white as the base color and green facade as the painted color pattern. The square of this church should be the largest among all churches in the city, so it is very formal.

Beautiful architecture and a great collection of art works. Only downside was that the lines were a bit long.
