How it works
Dozens of unofficial websites mimic the official Uffizi ticketing portal (uffizi.it) using near-identical domain names and layouts — e.g. "uffizi-tickets.com", "book-uffizi.com" — charging €40–70 for tickets priced officially at €20–25. Some sites deliver real tickets sourced through third-party resellers at markup; others collect payment and send nothing. The fake sites rank in search results via paid ads above the official site.
