Florence - Tourists visiting Florence and Tuscany every year are growing and they are more and more enthusiast about the historical and artistic treasures at their disposal.
According to recent studies on yearly flows, the Region in central Italy is increasingly appreciated. Its museums and its archaeological sites welcomed around 145.000 people in 2013, while Museums in Florence received 36.000 visitors during January and February 2014, with an 8% growth compared to the same period last year.

One of the possible reasons of such enthusiasm is represented by the always positive reviews in international newspapers.
A research by the Osservatorio giornalistico internazionale «Nathan il saggio», developed between March 1st, 2012 and March 1st, 2014, shows that visibility of tuscan museums is extremely high.
The Center monitored more than 50 renowned international newspapers, from the Guardian to the New York times, from the spanish El Pais to the french Le Figaro, which only few years ago expressed their negative opinion about the exhibiting spaces in the Region.

Besides the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti, which are at the top of the list of positive reviews, the ranking includes the Accademia Gallery, the Museo del Bargello, the Museum of the Cathedral in Pisa, the one in Montepulciano, the archaeological museum in Pitigliano, the Museum of Sansepolcro and the Bardini Museum in Florence.
