******************************************
The Uffizi Gallery is the oldest museum in modern Europe, and one of the most visited in the world: discover it with the UFFIZI application, which is now updated with the news sections of the museums.
With UFFIZI you can discover the great masterpieces of Italian and European art, find your way around the rooms of the Gallery and plan your trip to Florence, having practical information about the museum constantly at your fingertips.
Giotto’s Madonna Enthroned, or Maestà, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Leonardo’s Annunciation, the Doni Tondo by Michelangelo, Raphael’s Madonna of the Goldfinch and the Medusa by Caravaggio are just a few of the masterpieces displayed in the Florentine museum.
The Parallelo “Uffizi” allows you to plan your visit and guides you through the rooms of the Gallery. It will enhance your understanding of the most famous paintings and statues, and enable you to remember the most beautiful works and take them with you wherever you go.
The application permits different types of “visit”, and the information is presented in a clear and simple format:
MAP
showing ALL the rooms and listing all the works, keeps you updated with the new arrangements.
WORKS
describes ALL the works available (more then 1500), most of them with photos.
The top 100 must-see works also have a brief factsheet on the history and significance of each work.
INFO
provides essential info for the visit: opening hours, ticket prices and other practical information
NEWS
news about the Gallery: announcements, events, current exhibitions, the city of the Uffizi
For many years Parallelo has been in charge of the official website of the Uffizi and the other Florentine State museums (including the Accademia Gallery and the Pitti Palace), as well as dealing with their major IT projects regarding the cataloguing of the works of art, electronic documentation systems for the historic archive and the library, touch screen systems for exhibitions, and IT networks.

Nicely done!

Fantastic app. I recommend it for the inclusion of significant works at the Uffizi as well as the excellent room map. The news feature is outstanding, it informs you which works are under restoration and unavailable for viewing. A nice thing to know in advance before going to the museum.
cool app, not terribly useful

Its a bit difficult to navigate the GUI, and all the information listed in the app is verbatim listed next to the pieces in the museum so: not really any extra information. The videos are kinda cool, at least its all free. This is less of a guide and more of a "virtual" uffizi.
Not worth money

Description of paintings taken straight from the writing on signs in front of painting.
Almost five star

This is a great app. However since the new update on July 10th it has started to crash my springboard. Please get this fixed so I can enjoy using it again. I have had this app for a few years ;(
Great time saver on short visit!

The Uffizi is an amazing museum, and I had no idea how much this helped us plan what we could see and skip (sadly). DO PURCHASE TICKETS AHEAD REGARDLESS! The map feature lets you tap and see what is in which room. We were able to go directly to the rooms we wanted to see and make the most of our time with these amazing works of art! Good but brief notes on the artists and many works.
Do not buy, AWFUL

This app is useless and to make anyone pay 1.99 for it is criminal. It does not work online or offline or at the gallery. There are no colors on the map nor are there any searchable artists or works. The app does not work at all. Waste of money.
Worthless.

Downloaded on my iPhone. Maps are outlines only and I couldn’t access any content. A complete waste.
A waste of money

This app is a complete waste of time and money. I would have given it less than one star but couldn't. The information is incomplete and what is there can be found in the museum itself at no charge. Rent one of the video or audio tours at the entrance. I wish I could get my money back on this app.
