November 2026
Lorenzo de' Medici's collection is reassembled at the Uffizi from 30 November, when Magnifico 1492 opens with over 100 loans in the Treasury of the Grand Dukes. At Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Georg Baselitz's Mannerist prints hang beside works from Budapest. The Vasari Corridor's Friday evening openings, a better date than another aperitivo, end on 20 November.
