| Florence & Livorno |
|
Florence became the center of artistic patronage in Italy under the Medici family, who made their fortune in banking and ruled the city as an independent state for some three centuries. Later, in the late 18th century, Florence fell under Austrian and then French rule. In the 19th century, Florence was, for a short time, the capital of the kingdom of Italy. Today, Florence is a city to be savored, its finest monuments and works of art to be lingered over. Cimabue and Giotto, the fathers of Italian painting, lived in Florence, along with Arnolfo and Andrea Pisano, reformists of architecture and sculpture; Brunelleshi, Donatello and Masaccio, founders of the Renaissance; and the universal geniuses, Leonardo and Michelangelo. Their works, along with those of many generations of artists, up to the masters of the present century, are gathered in the city’s
many museums. Thanks to Dante, the Italian language was born in Florence. Originally a university town, Florence is now home of many specialized institutes, making it an international cultural center.

The 800 year-old Leaning Tower, delicate as carved ivory, continues to defy gravity alongside the exquisite marble cathedral and baptistery. It is comprised of a ground floor, six stories of open loggia and then the bell chamber. Over 400 years later, Galileo, Pisa’s leading luminary, is supposed to have used the tower to demonstrate the principles of gravity.

This was the birthplace of the Italian language and of the inspirational Renaissance movement.
