Florence (bahasa Italia: Firenze) melewati keruntuhan dari Kekaisaran Romawi Barat untuk muncul sebagai pusat keuangan Eropa, rumah bagi beberapa perbankan termasuk milik keluarga Medici yang kuat secara politik. Kekayaan kota tersebut mendukung pengembangan seni selama Renaisans Italia, dan turisme tertarik dengan sejarah yang kaya dari kota tersebut yang terus berlanjut hingga hari ini.
