Florence (Italian, Firenze) is a city of western Italy on the Arno river. Florence was long ruled (1434-1494, 1512-1527 and and 1530-1737) by the Medici family. A centre of medieval European trade and finance, the city is sometimes considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Florence is famous for its wealth of fine art and architecture.
