Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is one of Italy's most artistic cities. It nurtured countless artistic and intellectual giants such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Dante. The entire city is like an open-air museum; whether it's the lines of a cathedral dome, the reflection of the sunset on a bridge, or a sculpture on a street corner, a rich artistic atmosphere permeates everything. Walking on the cobblestone streets of Florence, one can almost hear the echoes of the Renaissance.
