Florence, city of Medici's and Lorena's families, has known a period of great
splendour since the dawning of the Renaissance epoch.
Thanks to its sovereigns' passion for art and artistic expressive forms and thanks
to a flourishing economy, the city became more and more important in the course
of the centuries till it became a symbol of civilization and of Italian art.
Florence and the surrounding region are the reign of historical, landscape and
gastronomic beauties.
The peculiar geographical position of the city makes it the exact meeting point
between the Mediterranean Sea and the northern culture.
