Florence

Florence's story commences in the Roman era, but it was during the Middle Ages that it emerged as a powerful city-state. The Medici family, whose patronage of the arts knew no bounds, transformed Florence into a cradle of the Renaissance.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, Florence became the epicenter of artistic and intellectual innovation. Visionaries like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Galileo Galilei left an indelible mark on the world, their genius nurtured by the city's vibrant cultural milieu.

The 18th century brought changes, as Florence became part of the Habsburg-Lorraine Grand Duchy of Tuscany, but its artistic legacy endured.

In the 19th century, Florence played a pivotal role in the Italian unification, earning it the title of the nation's capital for a brief period.

Today, Florence stands as a living museum, where history and art harmonize with modern life. The Florence Cathedral, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio bear witness to the city's timeless allure.
