Lungarno Torrigiani is the stretch of the south bank of the Arno river in Florence that goes from Via de 'Bardi to the Ponte alle Grazie. From the Lungarno, there's an extraordinary view of the Uffizi, the Vasari Corridor and Ponte Vecchio.
The Lungarno takes its name from the Torrigiani family, who owned Palazzo Tempi for a certain period. Almost in the corner with Piazza dei Mozzi there is a rectangular green area, equipped with benches, which overlooks the Evangelical Lutheran church, in neo-Gothic style. On 25 May 2016 at 6:15 am, a 3 and a half meter chasm opened due to the rupture of a large water pipe under the Lungarno road, after which thousands of homes were left without running water. [1]

The Vasari Corridor is an elevated enclosed passageway in Florence, central Italy, connecting the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti. Beginning on the south side of the Palazzo Vecchio, it joins the Uffizi Gallery and leaves on its south side, crossing the Lungarno dei Archibusieri, then following the north bank of the River Arno until it crosses the river at Ponte Vecchio. At the time of construction, the corridor had to be built around the Torre dei Mannelli, using brackets, because the tower's owners refused to alter it. The corridor conceals part of the façade of the Church of Santa Felicità. It then snakes its way over rows of houses in the Oltrarno district, becoming narrower, to finally join the Palazzo Pitti. The corridor's full length is approximately one kilometre.
