Florence: A City to Discover 

The Medici mastered the use of art patronage as a means to consolidate and express their power. They commissioned art from some of the most famous Renaissance artists, transforming Italy into a center of culture. Florence remains a magnificent city and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Medici elevated the world of art forever. 

"Let the Medici rest in peace in their tombs of marble and porphyry, for they have done more than any king or emperor for the glory of the world."
~ Alexander Dumas
