Florence - The Town
Firenze venne fondata nel 59 a.C. dai Romani e il suo nome si riferisce alla stagione dei Ludi Floreales in onore della dea Flora. La città è stata edificata a pianta quadrata e, anticamente, aveva un foro, le terme, un teatro e il Campidoglio. Nel 570 fu occupata dai Longobardi, che le garantirono stabilità ed autonomia, ma fu sotto i Carolingi che vennero unificate le contee di Firenze e Fiesole dando origine al più grande contado esistente in Toscana. Dopo la fine della dinastia Carolingia, la città attraversò un periodo difficile e solo attorno al Mille cominciò nuovamente ad espandersi e a conquistare progressiva autonomia nei confronti dell'impero mirando a diventare ricca e potente. Città d'arte per eccellenza, Firenze merita di essere visitata per la storia, per la cultura, ma anche per un'atmosfera magica che avvolge i suoi visitatori.
Florence - The Town
Florence was founded in 59 B.C. by the Romans and its name makes reference to the season of Ludi Floreales, in honour of the goddess Flora. The town was built on a square plant and, in ancient times, it had a forum, the thermal baths and the Capitol.In 570 it was occupied by the Longobards, that guaranteed stability and independence to the town, but only with the supremacy of the Carolingians the two counties Firenze and Fiesole were unified and gave origin to the greatest county ever existed in Tuscany.After the end of the this dinasty, the town had a difficult period and, only about 1000, it started again its expansion and continued to gain independence from the empire. An authentic city of art, Florence deserves to be visited not only for the history and the culture, but also for the magical atmosphere that surrounds its visitors.
