Florence, Italy

Florence is one of the world’s most influential cities for art, politics, and cultural history. During the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, the city rose to extraordinary wealth and power - driven in large part by the patronage of the Medici family and the artists they supported, including Brunelleschi, Donatello, Botticelli, and Michelangelo. What emerged was not just a city of masterpieces, but a crucible for ideas that would shape Western art and thought for centuries.
