Florence: A Museum Under the Sky

If you think of the immortal artists who worked here — Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and many others — there is only one way to describe Florence: a museum under the sky.

Contrary to popular belief, Florence was not founded by the Etruscans but by the Romans in the 1st century B.C., with the ancient name Florentia.
Built along the Arno River, it quickly became one of the most influential cities in the world thanks to its immense cultural and artistic heritage.

Today, Florence welcomes millions of travelers from every continent, supported by an efficient hospitality system and a vibrant local economy rooted in craftsmanship:

• leather goods

• goldsmithing

• footwear

• traditional artisanal workshops

Florence’s past is marked by internal conflicts — the most famous being the centuries-long clash between the Guelfs and Ghibellines (starting in 1215).
Only after this period did Florence begin its rise as a major commercial and industrial center, expanding across Tuscany and attracting wealthy families, merchants, and intellectuals.

Among its ruling dynasties, none is more iconic than the Medici family.
After Cosimo de’ Medici returned from exile in 1434, he governed with balance and wisdom, transforming Florence into the beating heart of the Renaissance.

At the end of the Medici line (1737), Florence passed to the Habsburgs, then became part of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1859 — and even served as its capital from 1865 to 1871.

Florence has survived tragedies as well:
the destruction during World War II and the devastating flood of November 1966.
Yet the city always rose again, preserving treasures that continue to inspire the world.
