The unusual flavors of Florence
Florence is a city visited by tourists, full of monuments, works of art and a place where you can taste real, delicious Italian food. Florence gained fame and high position as the center of medieval trade in Europe, and later became the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Florence, known as the Athens of the Middle Ages, was expanded thanks to funds donated by Julius Caesar. The history of the city, as well as its flavors, are inextricably linked with the powerful families ruling in Florence. The most famous are the Medici , who were bankers and helped the city flourish between the 15th and 18th centuries.
