Following a torrential storm that dropped nearly 45 millimeters of water on Florence in a single hour on September 17, a water leak occurred at the Uffizi Gallery.

Museum officials acted swiftly to protect the artwork, moving the protective glass-cased painting to a safe location while assessing the potential risks posed by the moisture influx inside the exhibition space.
