Florence

Florence was an iconic city during the Renaissance; the city centre was listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1982, and it was of such beauty that Stendhal was quoted saying he "died from of aesthetic emotion", giving rise to the "Stendhal Syndrome"...

Florence is not only a museum in its own right, with masterpieces at every turn, but is also home to numerous art establishments that boast prestigious collections. For example: the Bargello museum boasts Donatello's David; Masaccio's Trinity can be admired in the Santa Maria Novella church; and Vecellio's The Venus of Urbino and Paolo Uccello's The Battle of San Romano are located at the Gallery of Offices.
