The Muses visit the Uffizi. Two hours in front of Renaissance works for band

The Uffizi calls rock and rock responds: after last days’ appeal by director Eike Schmidt, who with a video posted on the museum’s Facebook page and other social channels had invited bands participating in the Firenze Rocks festival and their fans to the museum, today the first visiting band arrived. In fact, Muse, the standard-bearers of British alternative rock led by Matthew Bellamy, who are headlining at the Parco delle Cascine tonight, showed up at the Uffizi. Muse lingered for more than two hours in the gallery, accompanied by director Schmidt.

The Devon-based group, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year (Muse was in fact formed in 1992), and which has created such 21st-century rock milestones as Origin of Simmetry and Black Holes and Revelations, lingered especially in front of Renaissance works(Piero della Francesca, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael), as well as in the Caravaggio room. To inspire them for the concert, especially Botticelli’s Primavera and Venus, but also Caravaggio’s Medusa. in front of which they wanted to take numerous photos and selfies. And right in front of the Primavera, frontman Matthew Bellamy and drummer Dominic Howard got portrayed together with director Schmidt for the customary photo.
