The Giorgio Vasari exhibit at Rome’s Musei Capitolini, March 31st, 2026

One of perhaps the world’s (least) known great artists is Italy’s Giorgio Vasari (born in Arezzo in 1511).  His exquisite art exhibit is currently on at Rome’s central Musei Capitolini (the world’s oldest museum) in the halls of Palazzo Caffarelli. 

 
Vasari is perhaps better known for his 740-page book, “The Lives of the Most Excellent Italian Painters, Architects and Sculptors” (which I've read).  As an architect Vasari was also behind the design of the magnificent Uffizi Gallery in Florence. 

 
The exhibit runs until July 19^th, 2026.
