The city is small, with a population of only three hundred and eighty thousand. It still retains traditions dating back to the Renaissance, with annual fireworks on June 24 and a soccer match in medieval costume to commemorate the city's preservation of St. Giovanni. Florence is a treasure trove of Renaissance traditions and art, and a Renaissance atmosphere still pervades the entire city, which retains its Renaissance flavor.

The famous Basilica of Santa Maria delle Flore, located in Piazza Duomo in the center of the city, was built in the 13th-15th centuries and is today the world's most famous Catholic church. The baptistery is one of the oldest buildings in the city, with its rich and splendid interior, bronze doors and one of the marble buildings. The Lanzi Corridor in the wing of the palace, together with the entire piazza, is an open-air museum of sculpture, bronze statues and stone carvings of all kinds. Uffizi Palace and the Pitti Palace of imposing, the essence of Italian art in this, which Raphael's "Madonna", Titian's "Flora", Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" was regarded as works of art.
In Florence, the city of flowers, you can hear the sound of horses' hooves in the narrow streets of the city, as in the glorious Renaissance era. Shining with the light of the Renaissance era of architecture and painting is still preserved here. Many artists and poets have been attracted to the city by its reputation as the "City of Flowers" and have fallen in love with it.
Walking through the streets, the first thing that strikes you is the coat of arms of the Medici family, which imitates the lily and the nine herbs. The Medici family, who are said to have come from a long line of medicine dealers and protectors of the city, are the ones who discovered this "city of flowers". It was the Medici family who discovered the 13-year-old Michelangelo, who began to learn sculpture, and assisted Raphael, whose art finally blossomed. And Brunelleschi, who completed the Chapel of Our Lady of the Flowers - Cathedral Back Roof, which represents Florence, and the backstage of the debauched painter, Filippo Ridi, were both members of the Medici family. At the beginning of the Renaissance, these numerous artists surrounded the Medici family like shining stars around the sun (in Italy, because the Renaissance began to rise in the 15th century, this era is called the early Renaissance).
Another thing not to be forgotten is the citizens of Florence who loved and nurtured the Renaissance. It was these critical critics that the famous artists feared the most, but it was they who were the most solid supporters of the Renaissance. It is certainly true that many artists fled from the city because they could not tolerate their amazingly discriminating nature.
It is said that the painter Bertino, who was Raphael's teacher, loved the classical style and devoted himself to his work, but was unable to join the citizens of Florence and eventually retired to his hometown of Pelgia. This city prematurely ushered in the end of the Renaissance can not be said to be too sharp criticism of the citizens.
Time flies, and the glorious early years of the Renaissance (15th century) have faded like a dream. Here's how to set off on a tour. The magnificent cathedral radiates its majesty in the strong summer light. The Arno River glows golden in the evening, and the street scenes and Renaissance relics are sure to leave a strong impression on you. You can't really know Florence without experiencing it for yourself.
