Florence

Florence is a city located in Northern Italy, and is the capital of the region of Tuscany. Built by the Romans as Florentia, it occupied the Arno valley and was a key trading and financing hub during the Middle Ages. It grew extremely wealthy and powerful, being one of the most influential city-states throughout Italy.
Florence is known as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, with many wealthy Florentine patrons sponsoring artists for commissions. Many prominent Italians originated from Florence, including Donatello, Dante Alighieri, Niccolò Machiavelli and the many members of the House of Medici. It suffered through the Bonfire of the Vanities, though the city quickly recovered. Today, Florence is a prime tourist hub and is known as the capital of Tuscany.
