Monday, Oct 24, 2011 Time 6:30pm ITALIAN CENTER OF THE WEST The Sister City relationship, Torino & Salt Lake City & Utah's Former Vice Consul of Italy Dr. Giovanni G. Maschero Present the Free Lecture Series Instructor Alessandro Galvani Florence, its art, culture, tradition Florence originated as a Roman city, and later, after a period as a flourishing trading and banking medieval commune it was politically, economically, and culturally one of the most important cities in Europe and the world from the 14th century to the 16th century. The language spoken in the city there during the 14th century was, and still is, accepted as a pan-Italian language. Almost all the writers and poets in the Italian literature of the golden age are somewhat connected with Florence, leading ultimately to the adoption of the Florentine dialect above all the local dialects, as a literary language of choice. Starting from the late Middle Ages, Florentine money – in the form of the gold florin – financed the development of industry all over Europe, from Britain to Bruges, to Lyon and Hungary. Florentine bankers financed the English kings during the Hundred years War, as well as the papacy, including the construction of their provisional capital of Avignon and, after their return to Rome, the reconstruction and Renaissance embellishment of the latter.
