Il Corridoio Vasariano fu realizzato in soli 5 mesi per volere dell'allora duca Cosimo I de' Medici nel 1565 dall'architetto Giorgio Vasari, che già aveva realizzato l'attuale Galleria degli Uffizi. L'opera fu commissionata in concomitanza del matrimonio tra il figlio del granduca, Francesco, e Giovanna d'Austria. L'idea del percorso sopraelevato era nata per dare opportunità ai granduchi di muoversi liberamente e senza pericoli dalla loro residenza al palazzo del governo, visto l'appoggio ancora incerto della popolazione verso il nuovo Duca e il nuovo sistema di governo che aveva abolito l'antica Repubblica fiorentina, sebbene gli organi repubblicani fossero ormai solo simbolici da quasi un secolo. Il mercato delle carni che si svolgeva su Ponte Vecchio fu trasferito per evitare cattivi odori al passaggio del granduca e al suo posto furono spostate le botteghe degli orafi che ancora oggi occupano il ponte. Il corridoio ha un percorso abbastanza lineare realizzato costruendolo senza sostanziali vincoli di rispetto per gli edifici esistenti. L'unica eccezione è il giro intorno alla torre de' Mannelli all'estremità del Ponte Vecchio, per la strenua opposizione della famiglia proprietaria di questo edificio medievale al progettato abbattimento della stessa. Al centro del Ponte Vecchio si aprono una serie di grandi finestre panoramiche sull'Arno in direzione del Ponte Santa Trinità. Di queste finestre, ben diverse dai piccoli e discreti oblò rinascimentali, ne esistevano due sopra l'arco centrale e Mussolini ne fece realizzate altre due nel 1938 in occasione della visita ufficiale di Adolf Hitler (maggio 1938) per stringere l'Asse fra Italia e Germania, visitando Roma e appunto Firenze. Si dice che la vista fu molto gradita al Führer ed ai gerarchi nazisti che poterono goderne, e forse fu la possibile ragione che salvò il ponte dalla distruzione, a differenza della sorte di tutti gli altri ponti cittadini in seguito alla ritirata nazista. Come immortalato in un episodio del film Paisà di Roberto Rossellini, il passaggio sul Corridoio Vasariano sul finire della Seconda guerra mondiale era l'unico punto di attraversamento nord-sud della città. Nell'agosto 1944, questo passaggio fu Minato dai Nazisti per tagliare fuori gli Alleati, accampati nella parte sud dell'Arno e impedire contatti: alcuni coraggiosi Partigiani Fiorentini, riuscirono però a stabilire un collegamento, stendendo un filo elettrico che univa due telefoni portatili.

I'm sorry, I don't want to make a fuss, but has anyone noticed it's crooked?
In an image of geometries does not seem like a small mistake.....

Thank you Marco for the ride, they noticed if you see Simobati's message. I actually photographed the optical effect that gives, done with the wide angle and walking without much care of the geometries then later I tried to correct it in pp. To do it perfectly I would have needed a decentralised goal and easel.
Buon Saturday

I think it's just a little to the right. Clearly all the distortions cannot be recovered.
The dress in Florence and that photo I also made and with the same focal length. Later with Photoshop I managed to recover almost everything...
Howycome the picture is beautiful.
Every time I spend it again.

Marco I had seen on Juza a photograph, when I found myself there, a little because there were people a little because I was with the family (and always have care) I took on the fly I could cure more lines even zooming in position more canvases would make better. In PP I'm not very capable. I should try again.
Thank you for your comment. Have a good evening

Thank you Pierpaolo!!! I have visited Florence 3 times always in a somewhat hasty way, a city that deserves a careful attention to the many details like this corridor, full of beauty and history. Thank you for the great pass and good Sunday.

Excellent perspective embellished by the b/w and exhaustive caption, great job!!
Here personal (not a criticism) sin for human presence, adds dynamism but hides a part of the architectural profile. Congratulations.
A greeting, Vincenzo

Thank you Vincenzo for the appreciation and welcome passage. I'd have preferred it without people. But at that time it was impossible beyond the continuous passage of people had also settled a painter to paint the Ponte Vecchio (you see in another photograph that I published). Unfortunately I have to settle. Have a good evening

There are many of these photos, it's almost a classic, but you made it to perfection!
Compliments!!

Thank you Ale!!! For the appreciation and very welcome passage. You could do a little bit better maybe with more care in the lines, but I was passing by and I was afraid to find too many people in front. Have a nice day
