A Renaissance-era raised passageway that connects Florence’s Uffizi Galleries to the Medici’s former residence, Palazzo Pitti, will reopen to the public on Saturday, offering spectacular views of the historic Italian city.

The Vasari Corridor, named after Giorgio Vasari, the 16th century architect, painter and art historian who designed it, snakes its way through central Florence, passing over the Arno river via the Ponte Vecchio bridge, one of the city’s landmarks.

以設計這座通道的16世紀建築師、畫家和藝術史學家瓦薩里為名的瓦薩里走廊，彎曲延伸穿越佛羅倫斯中心，經由城市地標之一的老橋跨越阿諾河。

The Uffizi museum, which manages the corridor and oversaw restoration and safety upgrades costing 11 million euros ($11.5 million), called it, in a statement, an "air tunnel" hovering over the heart of the city.

耗資1100萬歐元（約1150萬美元）進行的修復和安全升級工程，由管理通道的烏菲茲美術館監督。美術館聲明描述，通道是一座盤旋於城市心臟地帶的「空中廊道」。
