Florence is today one of the most famous places in the world. But already in the past it was one of the most important towns in Europe, where many famous artists, scientists, writers and popes lived. These courses will reveal you the past of Florence presenting you its citizens, their habits, customs and way of living.
In this course, Florence, the town of the Medici family, Mona Lisa, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Galileo, is studied in its historic, urban and social contexts. The course covers and analyzes the different historical phases of Florence, from its founding, during the Roman era up until today. Special attention is given to periods of higher development in Florence: the “re-birth” of the late Middle Ages, and the splendor of the Renaissance, when the city under the Medici government and with numerous artists, philosophers, writers, and Popes, became a center of culture and modern civilization. The course explores the activities of the Florentines, their social conflicts, interests and secrets throughout the various centuries.
