The Renaissance started in the 14th Century and it’s associated with several Italian cities. It’s mainly a cultural movement and most historians agree that it started in Florence, a city so beautiful that will take your breath way.
And if you want to give credit to someone, then the Medici family should get what in sports is called a standing ovation. During Lorenzo’s Medici life, he commissioned works from Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci or Botticelli. Also, the Dome of Florence which is the centerpiece of our today’s article was projected by one of the best architects that the world has ever seen – Filippo Brunelleschi. What made Florence flourished is probably that back then it was a city-state. Yes, Firenze became a part of Italy only starting from 1861.
Below, you’ll see famous sites such as Il Ponte Vecchio, The Dome or Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio. And I’m sure that you’ll simply love the photography. Therefore, enjoy, be inspired and if you will like this article, then please share it with your friends or community! Many thanks Cheers!
