Florence  known for: bridges, plazas, squares, cathedrals, palaces, museums, galleries, parks, gardens, cobblestone streets

Florence is located near central Italy, about half-way between Rome (southward) and Milan (northward). Spelled Firenze in Italian, Florence is home to Michelangelo’s David sculpture, along with a number of Renaissance art collections. Splitting Florence’s north and south banks, the Arno River is sourced by the Apennine Mountains and flows 150 miles before emptying into the Ligurian Sea. Florence’s historic north bank is known as the Signoria District, while its south bank is the Oltrarno District.

When in Florence, keep in mind that taxis must be called rather than hailed on the street. Many museums are closed on Mondays. Dinner typically is late, though cappuccinos after noon are best avoided if one does not want to look like a tourist. Conservative attire, to include covering of the shoulders and knees, is required for church admittance. Comfortable shoes are good to pack, as Florence has many fine walkable areas. City of Lilies generally is safe, though pickpocketing is known to occur. Florence’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Florence accommodations are some of Italy’s best. Before we get to Florence accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Originally a Roman city, Florence would go on to flourish as a medieval trading / banking commune and birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, Florence was one of Europe’s most important cities. Renaissance poets such as Dante Alighieri, Francis Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio would help usher in a national literary language based on Florentine dialect. During the Middle Ages, the gold florin was introduced. Gold coins, Florentine florins were struck between the years 1252 and 1533. Along with industrial developments across Europe, Florentine bankers financed English kings during the Hundred Years’ War, along with the papacy during its construction of Avignon. In the late-15th century, Lorenzo de’ Medici was de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic. Medici sponsored artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo. The Medici duchy dynasty, which included two popes Leo X and Clement VII, concluded in 1737 with the death of Gian Gastone de’ Medici, last Medicean grand duke of Tuscany. Over its reign, the Medici duchy connected by blood with the French crown multiple times. In 1861, the Kingdom of Italy was established. Florence served as the kingdom’s capital for a brief period between 1865 and 1871. World War II saw Germans occupy the city for a year between 1943 and 1944. With Britain closing-in, the Nazis strategically demolished bridges in the Oltrarno district at the end of their occupation. Florence was liberated on August 4, 1944 by British, Australian and South African troops. Following the war circa 1945, the US Army established a School of Aeronautics in Florence for demobilized American service men and women. A catastrophic flood occurred in central Florence in the year 1966.

Home to around 370,000 Florentines, Florence is the capital of Italy’s Tuscany region. Renowned for its Renaissance art and architecture, City of Lilies was once home to poet Dante Alighieri and artists / polymaths Michelangelo & Leonardo da Vinci, as well as the powerful Medici family. As many as 100 historic churches can be found throughout the city. Florence’s tallest building at 375.7 feet, Gothic-styled Florence Cathedral was built in the 13th century.  Over 90% of Florentines are of the Roman Catholic faith. Florence’s climate is Mediterranean, with hot summers and damp winters. Thunder and snowfall are both rare. Florence is known for its cucina povera (peasant cuisine),  Local foods include bistecca alla Fiorentina (T-bone steak, grilled rare), trippa alla Fiorentina (tomato-based tripe), pici pasta (thick noodles), aglione (wild boar ragu), ribollita & pappa al pomodoro (hearty soups), cured meats, charcuterie, Tuscan flatbread, olive oil, coccoli (fried dough), cantucci (biscotti), zuccotto (sponge cake) and of course gelato. Popular drinks are negroni (bitter cocktail), chianti (medium-bodied red wine) and aperitif (pre-dinner alcoholic beverage). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Florence accommodations that are sure to impress.
