the post of The florentine museum has been untied a sea of controversy , which are divided substantially into two: criticisms of the Uffizi, which are in the majority; others, though minority, support the Ferragni. Most of the commentators focus their attention on the true meaning of the operation: pure marketing . “How dare the Uffizi to compare a work as the “Venus” of Botticelli with a blogger?”. Supporters of the Ferragni replicated: “why all this hatred?” Very critical is shown by the art historian and writer Tomaso Montanari , against the Uffizi gallery in florence, for “the Venus Chiara reduces to Botticelli to a lot of controversy on social. Montanari explains: “it Remains clear one thing: the problem is not The Chiara Ferragni, the problem are the Uffizi. The blogger of Cremona does its job, and does it quite well. But the question is: Is it fair, sensible, wise, the Uffizi put all his art and its history at the service of the Ferragni?”
The art critic does not approve the decision of the florentine museum, by considering that it has banalized to Botticelli : “Many teenagers have flocked to the Uffizi to see the Ferragni -writes Montanari in “Il Fatto” – but not even one will go to the Uffizi because has been the Ferragni. So the Uffizi become exactly what you have chosen to be: The bottom (momentary) of a blogger”. However, others believe that also the Uffizi is took advantage with your marketing operation: it has been put in the foreground to the Uffizi, a museum that has had a social change sensational in the last few months: thanks to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and, above all, Tik Tok , the Uffizi gallery in florence have attained a popularity unprecedented.
