This URL doesn't list any

and a Google(R) search for either pass found nothing. So, if such passes do exist, the people who sell them are doing a VERY good job of hiding the fact!

No museum pass like the one in Paris, unfortunately. However, you may call the Uffizzi Gallery in Florence (Google it) to reserve a time, so you don't have to wait in line. You can also reserve a time for the Academia (statue of David) at that same number. This will save you from waiting in long lines; they will charge an additional 2 Euro for this privilege... totally worth it, IMO. I didn't have to wait at all when I went to the Uffizzi last July.

Hi Steve James, I wish to thank you for bringing my attention to this great pass in Rome. I do not care much for museums passes like the one in Paris because I am not interested in visiting museum after museum...but this one seems exciting. have you tried it personally?
This reminded me of some king of a Pass for Museums all over Italy that in the late 70 could be bought in New York for $1, yes one dollar. It was good in hundred of museums and archeological sites. Tell me about inflation....

Graziella - No I haven't used it personally.
