Ticket sales were suspended at
Floremce’s Uffizi Gallery due to heat and malfunctioning air
conditioning systems on Wednesday, when the Tuscan capital was
among 16 Italian cities on red alert due to the danger posed by
the high temperatures of the heatwave that is baking Italy and
much of Western Europe.
Long lines formed outside the Gallery.
According to reports, the extremely high temperatures are
affecting the museum’s air conditioning system, so—for Wednesday
only—it has been decided to limit entry and suspend ticket sales
for today.
Teams of technicians are working to restore the air conditioning
systems.
