The Uffizi is the world's oldest gallery and the most popular museum in Italy. In 1560, Cosimo I de' Medici commissioned Giorgio Vasari to design a building to house the Florentine State's administrative and judicial offices (known as the "Uffizi"). Much of the Uffizi's collection originally belonged to the Medici family, known as much for their patronage of the arts as for their role in the city government of Florence. The Uffizi houses the largest collection of Italy's artistic heritage consisting of thousands of works of art ranging from Greek and Roman sculptures to Renaissance and Baroque paintings. Its treasures include Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Titian's Venus of Urbino.
