This guided tour of the Uffizi was everything I could have hoped for and more. Chiara was warm and welcoming, explained the context of the collection within this city and this De Medici-constructed building, led us through the crowds quickly through the entrance obstacles and then from one masterpiece to the next, explaining what was going on in the imagery of each work of art, often relative to images we had just seen, and also some of its back story where relevant. Chiara explained the CONTEXT of the artists' lives, their patrons, their cities, the fabric they worked with, their imagery and their provenances - all without pretension, in Plain English and also in perfect English (with a cute accent). The museum was amazing and Chiara was wonderful.
