Florence

Florence (Firenze) is the capital of the region of Tuscany and is one of Italy's finest cities. The city is artistic and cultural, full of history and has a wealth of sights to see. Florence has the world's greatest collection of Renaissance art and architecture. The countryside around Florence is home to most of the Tuscan villages and is dotted with villas built by the Medici during the 15th and 16th centuries.

The city of Florence is home to some of the most outstanding art collections in the world, boasting such names as da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Botticelli and Donatello, Dominating the city's skyline is the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and is generally accepted as the first expression of Renaissance ideas in architecture. The great Piazza del Duomo is ringed with cafes and beyond, towards the river, are many palaces including Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Strozzi, Palazzo Rucallai and the Uffizi Gallery.
