Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. One of its most iconic sights is the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and a bell tower by Giotto.
Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of that era. It is considered by many academics[5] to have been the birthplace of the Renaissance. From 1865 to 1871 the city served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.
