In the following centuries and up to the present day, the remaining rooms were built on the sides of the north and south corridors and the painters Butteri Bizzelli and Pieroni were commissioned to decorate the ceiling of the first Corridor and the painters Cosimo Ulivelli and Jacopo Chiavistelli the ceilings of the third Corridor.
- To the paintings of the Medici collections were added those coming from the inheritance of the Dukes of Urbino, from the Churches and Convents following the suppressions of the Religious Congregations and, some, from purchases. They are ordered in the rooms for schools and eras and of the Florentine school especially you can see all the development from Cimabue to the artists of the end of the 500.
