Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574)
Vasari's Architecture
Vasari was more successful as an architect. In Florence, his most important building design was for the Uffizi Gallery.
His loggia of the Palazzo degli Uffizi with its unified architectural treatment represents a unique example of urban planning that functions like a public piazza, and - like the Vasari Corridor which connects the Uffizi with the Palazzo Pitti across the Ponte Vecchio over the River Arno - appears to embrace the riverside environment.
Vasari also redesigned and renovated the medieval churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, where he removed the original rood screen and loft, and remodelled the choir area according to the Mannerist taste of his time. In Rome, he collaborated with Bartolomeo Ammanati and Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola at Pope Julius III's Villa Giulia.
