The cradle of the Renaissance, the Italian language and writers such as Dante, Petrarch, Machiavelli and Boccaccio, Florence also saw the emergence of visual artists such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Botticelli, Michelangelo and the universal genius Leonardo da Vinci, who left their mark on the city during a golden age of artistic creation.

No other city has witnessed the emergence of such a wealth of talent over so many successive generations, driving Stendhal syndrome to fever pitch. An immense cultural heritage and a blessing, yet one that carries a significant responsibility for the conservation and protection of this heritage.
