Gallerie degli Uffizi

The Uffizi Galleries are one of the most important and visited museums in the world, housing a vast collection of priceless works of art. Cefla's work is part of a project to enhance and preserve the artistic heritage, with the aim of adapting the technological systems to modern requirements without altering the historical integrity of the building.

• Preservation of historical heritage
  Carrying out technological upgrading without any impact on the architectural and artistic integrity of the museum.
• Operational continuity
  Carrying out work while ensuring the continuity of museum activities and the safety of visitors and masterpieces.
• Customisation of systems
  Designing tailor-made system solutions for the different needs of exhibition rooms and museum environments.

Cefla provided a turnkey solution that included:

• Plumbing, heating, air conditioning and climate control systems designed to ensure environmental comfort and the preservation of the works of art.
• Electrical and special systems, including security, fire prevention and building automation systems.
• Supervision and control systems for optimal management of the technological systems.

The strict thermo-hygrometric conditions required, both to ensure maximum comfort for visitors and to guarantee the proper conservation of the works on display, necessitated the installation of sophisticated climate control systems. The systems and machinery were designed and built ad hoc, also from an aesthetic point of view: technical solutions were sought that were as non-invasive as possible and coordinated with the architectural background. The works were carried out in stages and by functional areas, so as to limit as much as possible any disruption to and inaccessibility of the museum complex.
