Florence

Florence was a centre trade, finance and one of the wealthiest cities of that era.

The Florentine dialect forms the base of Standard Italian and it became the language of culture throughout Italy due to the prestige of the masterpieces by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini.

The city attracts millions of tourists each year. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments.   The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti,and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics.
