Florence
Florence is the capoluogo of the Tuscany, earth of poets and artists, and in this context only rinascimentale history to the world, illuminant and ispiratrice still represents the apex of one to the creative abilities of the living generations. Florence had roman origin with the name of Florentia. Currently they live approximately 400.000 persons in the historical center of a city forged for great part in the period that goes from the XIII to XVII century. To Florence nacque the poet, Dante Alighieri, plus important for the culture and the Italian language. Also Dante was been involved in the wars of that time between the Guelfi (favorable Pope) and Ghibellines (favorable to the Emperor of the Sacred Roman Empire) and it is famous as the same Dante had to scappare from the city, to the defeat of the Ghibellines to which it belonged. The fortunes of Florence caught up the apex with the government of the De' family Medici and depended on the ability to development of the mercantile, wool and woven commerce in particolar way, and from the resources accumulated financial institutions that the first bankers created, which lend the money (gold coins Fiorino calls) to the main Monarchies of the European States. But the money above all served to the mecenatismo of the rich classes of the Merchants and the De' family Medici in particular (Cosimo and Lorenzo), that favored the birth and the development of “botteghe” where the art was learned to paint, to carve, to imagine and to create “the beauty”. The pride of esternare the own wealth and magnificienza from part of the greater families, yields possible to address the fruit of this maestria and laboriosità in the many palaces, monuments and art works that today we can admire, and that they were work of the talent of the many geniuses that lived in that period to Florence, which Giotto, Michelangelo, Leonardo from Vinci, Raffaello, Brunelleschi,…. The surrounding nature of sweet and graceful Florence in the shapes of appenninichee hills of the river Arno, sure has influenced the grace with which the Rinascimento it has put molding on the city that today we see and that easy we can to catch up is via car, train or via close airport of Florence Peretola. In order to visit Florence it would be opportune to come down from the step of the Futa that they give Bologna crosses the Appennino and to enjoy the sight from distant of the city, in order to comprise the maestosità of the Old Palace and the complex Dome, Tower and Baptistry of the Brunelleschi to testimony of the largeness of such works. Close to the Old Palace (center of the Common one) the Gallery of the Uffizi is found the museum for antonomasia. As soon as to beyond the public square encircled from Galleria defli Uffizi, atraversando the road on the bank of the Arno, it can be seen the bridge, the Old Bridge with its characteristic honeycomb facade more famous. Beyond the Old Bridge on the left it is found to us in front of Palazzo Pitti, immense for the dimensions, annually lend to several international manifestations of prestige, between which fashionable events. Before rinfocillarsi in one of tantissime the Trattorie From Tuscany, bucolica walk in the center of Florence and cioé in the Garden of Boboli connected to the Strong Lookout is advised one. The kitchen is special! The bread is produced in the great pieces and it is not salato, this in order to make to better savour the food that the accomapgna. Between the typical leccornie we cite “ribollita” that is one minestra of verdure, bread and meat perhaps bubbled in order more days. More ribollita is better sapore has emphasized from the oil of olive of dark color that is put over before consuming it. The other prelibatezza and “steak to the fiorentina”, costing of manzo (with the bone) that it comes by weight sold and pu to weigh also 1 kilo, for most reckless! made to the live coal and with of good, red Chianti wine. A walk on for the hill that is large square Michelangelo, the point with sight from above on immenser and complete Florence, is of obligation, is for the magical view, is in order smaltire the calories of the meal. They represent in their character their city and the city represents them. In fact the natural elegance and sobrietà in the ways and the estro to express itself of the persons, conjugate with one free, blood spirit, sometimes the book of martyrs that puttinges together all produce a substantial equilibrium. Equilibrium, intelligence, irony, separation, curiosity and love that in Tiziano Terzani, writer and died Florence's journalist recently, pleasantly riscoperto.
