Florence, smoke from the roof of the Uffizi: museum evacuated as a precaution

Precautionary evacuation, shortly after 10:30 this morning, to the Uffizi Gallery after an intense exit from a flue on the roof of the west wing. “It doesn’t seem anything serious and the firefighters are already on the spot”, the Florentine museum said. Thus the alarm went off to secure the building, staff and visitors.
