Part 5/10:
The powerful Medici family, who played a significant role in shaping Florence, constructed a secretive corridor connecting their residence at the Palazzo Pitti with their offices at Palazzo Vecchio. This elevated passage allowed them to avoid mingling with the lower classes, reflecting their desire for separation from common folk. Visitors can glimpse this intriguing corridor while visiting the Church of Santa Felicita, where Medici members discreetly attended services.
