Florence, City on the Arno
A compact Tuscan city where the Arno, medieval commerce and successive republican and Medici regimes shaped streets, churches and civic buildings.
Why go
Florence makes most sense when its art and architecture are read alongside the city that paid for, governed and contested them. Piazza della Repubblica still marks the Roman grid, while the Arno and the older hill settlement at Fiesole explain the geography behind the later city. Its short spell as Italy's capital also adds a later layer to the centre.
