Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the
wealthiest cities of that era.[5] It is considered by many
academics[6] the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called
"the Athens of the Middle Ages".[7] Its turbulent political history
includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family and numerous religious and
republican revolutions.[8]From 1865 to 1871 the city served as
the capital of the Kingdom of Italy(established
in 1861). The Florentine dialect forms
the base of Standard Italian and
it became the language of culture throughout Italy[9] due to the prestige of the
masterpieces by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco
Guicciardini.
The city attracts millions of tourists each year, and UNESCO
declared the Historic Centre
of Florence a World Heritage Site in
1982. The city is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and
architecture and monuments.[10] The city also contains
numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Pitti, and still exerts an influence
in the fields of art, culture and politics.[11] Due to Florence's artistic and
architectural heritage, Forbes has ranked
it as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.[12]
Florence plays an important role in Italian fashion,[11] and is ranked in the top
15 fashion capitals of
the world by Global Language
Monitor;[13]furthermore, it is a major national
economic centre,[11] as well as a tourist and
industrial hub. In 2008 the city had the 17th-highest average income in Italy.[14]
Florence originated as a Roman city, and later, after a long
period as a flourishing trading and banking medieval commune, it was the birthplace of
the Italian Renaissance.
According to the Encyclopædia
Britannica, it was politically, economically, and culturally one
of the most important cities in Europe and the world from the 14th to 16th
centuries.[10]
The language spoken in the city during the 14th century came to
be accepted as the model for what would become the Italian language. Thanks especially to the
works of the Tuscans Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio,
Florentine dialect, above all the local dialects, was adopted as the basis for
a national literary language.[15]
Starting from the late Middle Ages, Florentine money—in the form of
the gold florin—financed
the development of industry all over Europe, from Britain to Bruges, to Lyon
and Hungary. Florentine bankers financed the English kings during the Hundred Years War. They similarly financed the
papacy, including the construction of their provisional capital of Avignon and, after
their return to Rome, the reconstruction and Renaissance embellishment of Rome.
Florence was home to the Medici, one of European history's most
important noble families. Lorenzo de' Medici was
considered a political and cultural mastermind of Italy in the late 15th
century. Two members of the family were popes in
the early 16th century: Leo X and Clement VII. Catherine de Medici married
King Henry II of France and,
after his death in 1559, reigned as regent in France. Marie de' Medici married Henry IV of France and
gave birth to the future King Louis XIII.
The Medici reigned as Grand Dukes of
Tuscany, starting with Cosimo I de' Medici in
1569 and ending with the death of Gian Gastone de'
Medici in 1737.
