Florence is considered the cradle of the Renaissance, the artistic and cultural wakening of the 15th century. Writers such as Dante, Petrarch, and Machiavelli, but especially sculptors and artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Donatello, transformed the city into one of the most important cities for art. The historic centre unravels around the Piazza del Duomo, and is distinguished by its small streets and alleyways, where you can happily lose yourself admiring the endless marvels of the city and its historical neighbourhoods: Duomo, Oltrarno, and Santa Croce.
