Uffizi, incognito visit for Denise Gough, the officer of the new Star Wars series

Incognito visit to the Uffizi Gallery for Irish actress Denise Gough, the Dedra Meero from the new series of the Star Wars: Andor star saga. In the past few days the actress, who plays the imperial officer who hunts Cassian Andor and the resistance rebels, took part in Lucca Comics & Games as a guest, precisely to present Andor, a live action series set in the Star Wars universe: the series is in fact available now in first run on Disney+.

During her visit to the Florentine museum, Denise Gough particularly appreciated, in addition to the masterpieces of Renaissance painting, the evocative ancient sculptures in the Sala della Niobe, on the second floor of the Gallery. The room takes its name from the twelve ancient statues, Roman copies from a Greek original, which dramatically and theatrically depict the fleeing or stricken to death protagonists of the myth of Niobe, who is depicted trying to protect her youngest daughter. Daughter of Tantalus and wife of Amphion, Niobe was punished by the gods because she dared to mock the goddess Latona as the mother of only two children, Apollo and Artemis, as opposed to her who had fourteen (seven girls and seven boys). Latona sent her two sons to kill those of Niobe. The poet Ovid relates that out of terror Niobe turned into a block of marble.
