Chiara Ferragni at Uffizi: curiosity about a star!

Have you heard of Chiara Ferragni? She is an Italian influencer and lately, she has been visiting the best places in Italy to promote Italian tourism. One of her choices was Uffizi! This choice of hers made a slight difference in Uffizi visitors. There was a 70% increase in young visitors to the museum.

To guide her around the museum, Eike Schmidt, the director himself accompanied the influencer on a journey of the most famous Renaissance art in the world, the one signed by Botticelli, Da Vinci (and not only these two but others also).

Ferragni has been enchanted by the masterpieces of the Florentine artist for which we are famous all over the world. From Judith’s stories to The adoration of the Magi with the painter’s self-portrait, he admired all the works that made Botticelli the number one name of Made in Italy …

Obviously, there was no shortage of the birth of Venus and La Primavera, the two superstars of painting.
