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.

The Italian Renaissance How ten little towns changed the world. Forever. Imagine eating out with Michelangelo, dating Monna Lisa, chatting with Lorenzo de Medici. All things you could have done if you'd lived in Italy during the Renaissance period. Learn about the culture, art, and history of this fascinating period through the eyes of the people who experienced it.What would you talk about if in the local City Hall you met Botticelli? What if the kind man in line at the restaurant wrote that a prince (or the Mayor, today) should poison his enemies if in danger? What if the new man on the block wrote 900 thesis criticizing the Church 30 years before Luther's 95? Imagine if Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo's model for his David was your neighbor. This was Italy in the XIV, XV, and XVI centuries. Florence, Rome, Milan, Venice, Naples, Mantua, Padua, places where intellectuals helped Popes and princes to build the unique environment that we still enojoy now.
