Location Description
At the foothills of the Apennines and divided by the Arno River, the Tuscan capital is the wonder of the Renaissance; a place where you can find the fingerprints of prominent figures such as Dante or Michael Angelo. There are thousands of works which inspired the mind and stimulated the development of humankind towards the end of the Middle Ages. Visiting Florence is something indispensable for the art aficionado, for here you will find some of the most imaginative creations of all time. The Palazzo Vecchio is the most important civil building in Florence. The construction was planned by Arnolfo di Cambio and began in the year 1299. Initially it was the headquarters for the “Priors of the Art and of the Signoria. It was temporarily a house of the Granducale family under Cosimo I of Medici, and later the headquarters of the government and the official residence of the domineering family were divided”. The Galleria degli Uffizi shelters a magnificent collection of Italian paintings, placing it among the world’s top museums. The Palazzo Pitti is one of Florence’s most famous museums; it holds Michael Ángelo’s famous sculpture "David". The Cathedral, dedicated to Santa Maria do Fiore, is characteristic of Italian Gothic architecture. The current building was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, one of the biggest architects/sculptors of his era. The Dome, planned by Filippo Brunelleschi, has an internal diameter of 41,50m and is the major element of the Florentine horizon; the symbol of great cultural tradition and civic knowledge. Campanile di Giotto was projected by the famous painter and architect for whom it takes its name. At the time of his death in 1337, only the lowest part was completed. Andrea Pisano and Francesco Talenti continued his work, while Talenti finished the structure, repeating the decoration of the marble mitigated by the windows. St Lorenzo’s Basilica, the oldest church of the city, was created by San Ambrosio in 393. The building we see today was designed and constructed by Brunelleschi in 1423.
