Florence is commonly recognised as the place where the great renaissance was centralised, with this powerful autonomous republic being one of the most important states in Europe for several hundred years. The legendary Medici dynasty presided over the Florentine republic for a large part of its golden era, producing no fewer than three popes along the way and, among other things, opening the world’s first ever public art gallery, the Uffizi, which still stands today.
