Florence is, above all, known for being the cradle of Renaissance and home to the most spectacular artistic treasures created during this period. You might also know it for its impressive political and economic achievements in the Middle Ages...
However, the city's history goes much further. The today elegant Florence came into existence in 59 BC. Who is behind it? The (in)famous Julius Caesar himself! He established the settlement as a haven for military veterans. What's more, he named the city Florentia meaning flourishing. Perhaps he had a hunch about its prosperous future...
However, since Florence happened to be situated on land great for farming AND on a major travel route between northern Italy and Rome, it grew into a bustling commercial hub. In addition to all that, the city became an important banking center with the powerful Medici banking family as its ultimate puppet master!
It's the economic flourishing that created a perfect atmosphere for the creation of art. This movement led to the establishment of the Accademia Gallery - initially a school for aspiring artists. Many of the most influential artists at the time gathered in Florence to create their masterpieces, including Botticelli, Michelangelo, Ghirlandaio and Leonardo da Vinci.
