Giorgio Vasari

iorgio Vasari: The Genius of Arezzo between Art and History

Giorgio Vasari (Arezzo, 30 July 1511 – Florence, 27 June 1574) was a renowned Italian painter, architect, and art historian, considered a key figure of Mannerism. Born in Arezzo, in the heart of Tuscany, Vasari left an extraordinary legacy, still visible today in the art cities of Tuscany.

In addition to being a refined painter (as demonstrated by his Casa Vasari in Arezzo), he was a highly talented architect. Among his most important projects are the Palazzo della Carovana in Pisa and the famous Uffizi complex in Florence. However, his name is inextricably linked to "The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects," a fundamental work that collects the biographies of the most illustrious artists from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries.
