Perché visitare Florence
Florence is one of the most famous Italian cities that has kept the charm of the sixteenth century intact.
Known as the cradle of the Renaissance, its historic center is known as one of the places with the highest concentration of works of art in the world. The history of the city represents a very lively reality since the middle age when it was an important cultural, artistic and commercial center. It reached its maximum expansion in the modern age when it became the capital of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and was ruled by the Medici family.
The name of the Medici is inextricably linked to the city that ruled for about three centuries. The Medici had close ties to the church so as to reach the papacy and with the rulers of Europe. They were art patrons who contributed to the great artistic development of the city.
Thanks to the presence of numerous monuments including the Duomo with Giotto's Bell Tower and Brunelleschi's Dome, the church of Santa Maria Novella and the Basilica of Santa Croce and of important world museums, the city is one of the most visited in Italy from tourists from all over the world.
