About Firenze

Firenze, culla del Rinascimento, riunisce capolavori d'arte e architettura in una città compatta di strade di pietra lungo l'Arno.

Il Duomo, con la grande cupola di mattoni rossi del Brunelleschi, il campanile di Giotto e le porte dorate del Battistero, segna il centro della città. A poche strade, piazza della Signoria e Palazzo Vecchio si affacciano su una loggia piena di sculture, e la Galleria degli Uffizi custodisce Botticelli, Leonardo e Raffaello. Il David di Michelangelo si trova alla Galleria dell'Accademia.
