The view of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its global fame, Florence has remained a vibrant city - with a self-image that oscillates between pride and nonchalance. Here are ten things you should know about Florence - for anyone who wants more than just a snapshot on the Ponte Vecchio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Florence has a population of around 370,000 - but over 10 million people visit the city every year. There is hardly any other city in Europe where so many world-famous works of art are concentrated in such a small space. More than 1,500 works hang in the Uffizi Gallery alone, including Botticelli's \"Birth of Venus\" and da Vinci's \"Annunciation\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Florence was once the capital of Italy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For a brief interlude of six years (1865-1871), Florence was the capital of the young Kingdom of Italy. It then moved to Rome - but the pride remained. And the magnificent buildings that were erected during this time also remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. the cradle of the Renaissance - and that's no empty phrase<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo - they all worked here. Florence was the Silicon Valley of art in the 15th century. Anyone walking through the Uffizi today is strolling through the early history of Europe reimagined in oil and marble.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
