Uffizi Gallery Restorations
Everyone says they love Florence.
But this organization is showing its love by donations provided directly to projects at the Uffizi Gallery, helping them to restore the museum and works of art to the level they deserve.
Donations by the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, Inc. a US organization based in Palm Beach, Florida are making possible restoration and exhibition of previously damaged or unseen works of art. While the Italian Government supports its museums and historical art works, the devastation of art works throughout Italy has made it impossible for the government to fully support all of the much needed restoration work. In addition to the restoration of paintings, sculptures and tapestries, art works are being restored for exhibition in recently completed new space within the Uffizi Gallery.
As a member of the Board Directors of the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery, Mary Jo Zingale (owner with her husband Joseph of the Zingale Estate) who lives in the United States and Tuscany, works with other art and history lovers to create interest in the organization and to promote membership. President of the Friends of the Uffizi Gallery and the Amici degli Uffizi, Contessa Maria Vittoria Rimbotti, who lives in Florence, works with the volunteers who are making this support a visible reality to the millions of people who visit the Uffizi Gallery each year. The Friends of the Uffizi Gallery is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 charity, an advantage for United States citizens. The board members, volunteers and contributors are from throughout the United States and the world.
