Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany. The city was a center of medieval European trade and finance. It is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance.

Among the most famous of the city’s cultural giants are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, Machiavelli, Galileo, and its most-renowned rulers, generations of the Medici family,  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. 

Its historic centre was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1982.
