Since Monday November 26 2012 it was back to the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, after a 220 year pilgrimage through many museums the Sleeping Ariadne. It is a roman statue belonging to the III century before B.C., copy of an ellenistic original. The dimensions and the weigth (a bit less than two tons required a extraordinary intervent to lift it up to the second floor of the Uffizi Gallery.
Next December 17 the statue will be part of the arrangement of the Room 35 where we can admire it with the Tondo Doni by Michelangelo.
Visit the Uffizi Gallery with your official private guide of Florence and reserve a private tour to appreciate all the masterpieces of the museum.
