Hello,
My husband is a disabled Veteran (100%) and he has a disabled Veteran card. His disability is not obvious but we were wondering if he qualifies for free admission into museums in Florence like Accademia, Uffizi, etc? I don’t mind doing reservations which is 4 euros per person for disabled. I just don’t know if his disability will be honored upon arrival.

Here is what the Ufizzi says about free admission for the disabled. If you have the types of certifications accepted, you should be able to get free admission.

This documentation must be presented to the reception staff and the ticket office.The following certifications are accepted: a medical certificate issued in accordance with the regulations in force in your country or a specific badge or card and, alternatively, a valid disabled parking card with your personal data; the documentation must be accompanied by the disabled person's identity card.
