It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with 367,569 inhabitants (1,500,000 in the metropolitan area).[2] The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time,[3] Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance; it has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.[4] A turbulent political history included periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, religious and republican revolution. From 1865 to 1870 the city was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Florence is often known as the "Jewel of the Renaissance". The historic centre of Florence attracts millions of tourists each year and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Florence is widely regarded[by whom?] as one of the most beautiful cities in the world,[5][6] and its artistic,[7] historic and cultural heritage and impact in the world remains to this day. The city has a major impact in music, architecture, education, cuisine, fashion, philosophy, science and religion. The historic centre of Florence contains elegant squares (piazzas), Renaissance palaces (palazzi), academies, parks, gardens, churches, monasteries, museums, art galleries and ateliers. The city has also been nominated, according to a 2007 study, as the most desirable destination for tourists in the world.[8] The city boasts a wide range of collections of art, especially those held in the Pitti Palace and the Uffizi, (which receives about 1.6 million tourists a year).[9] Florence is arguably the last preserved Renaissance city in the world[10] and is regarded by many as the art capital of Italy. It has been the birthplace or chosen home of many notable historical figures, such as Dante, Boccaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Niccolò Machiavelli, Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Donatello, Galileo Galilei, Catherine de' Medici, Luigi Cherubini, Antonio Meucci, Guccio Gucci, Franco Zeffirelli, Salvatore Ferragamo, Roberto Cavalli, and Emilio Pucci.

  Postcars showing Palazzo Vecchio, with the text "Saluti da Firenze" (Greetings from Florence), that can be removed if you wish using the customize button. Palazzo Vecchio, at Piazza della Signoria, the heart of Florence, Italy. Piazza della Signoria has been the center of the city since the Middle Ages. The palace, formerly Palazzo dei Priori and Palazzo della Signoria, was the seat of the Republican government of Florence. When the government moved to the Pitti Palace, this buidling began to be called "Old Palace", or Palazzo Vecchio in Italian. Built during the 13th century, it was doubled in the 16th century, during the reign of the Medici ruler Duke Cosimo I, who lived there. When Florence was the capital of Italy in the 19th century, the Chamber of Deputies met at Palazzo Vecchio. Among other statues, a copy of Michelangelo's David is found in front of it. Its bell tower is the tallest in Florence, at 94m.
