The Uffizi Gallery in Florence have shared images of newly restored frescos that have emerged after the restoration of the gallery's entrance and shops.

The two main images that have emerged are a roundel portrait Grand Duke Ferdinand I and a large full-length portrait of the young Cosimo II de' Medici. Allegories of Florence and Siena have also been revealed. These paintings are believed to be the work of artist Bernardino Poccetti (1548-1612) and were covered up during a remodelling project made during the eighteenth century.

The museum has been able to restore 2000 square metres of space thus far for their new Uffizi project.
