The Uffizi Gallery in Florence is one of the largest treasure troves of Renaissance art in the world, but getting around the meandering rooms searching for sparse or missing signage can be a challenge.
Getting good information about the paintings usually means bringing a guide book and often overlooking anything but the A-list paintings.
Enter the official Uffizi iPhone app, which will get you from Giotto to Botticelli and back again in Italian and English. The best part: you can download it for free for the first two weeks, until April 26.
This isn’t the first time the gallery has tried to get more hands on with visitors: they also recently launched a touch screen system to give more info about the paintings.
