Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, a city worth visiting at least once in a lifetime, a place which surprises for its extraordinary artistic beauty.

City with a noble past: Dante Alighieri, father of the Italian language, was born here, the Opera has its origins here, the first Italian fashion show took place here, and here lived many artists who have enriched it with unique works over time!

The historical centre of Florence, with its numerous museums, among which the famous Uffizi Gallery, where works of worldwide famous artists are displayed, was declared by Unesco a World Heritage Site in 1982.

Its beauty is in fact present everywhere, so much that the city earned the title of “open-air Museum”.

Its name is said to derive from "Florentia", as the Romans called it, but we like to share the opinion of those scholars who trace its etymology back to the Latin adjective « flores, florentis » which means flourishing. And today and forever that is what Florence is: a flourishing city!!!
