FIRENZE

The city over the centuries has been dominated by the Byzantine than Ostrogoths, the Lombards to Franks. Florence continued to grow in the early 1100 became a municipality. With the gradual population growth, the population had to find a remedy to the problem dell'abitabilità, building new walls over the Arno in order to enlarge the urban structure of the city. During the famous battles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines the city had to resort to a stranger mayor in order to ensure impartiality. For a brief period also Ghibellines could dominate Florence, but that their "luck" lasted little, because after the death of the Emperor Frederick II (which was their supporter), the Guelphs returned to command the city.
During renewed fighting between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, was born the Society of Arts, ie professional associations, which later gave life to the "Government of the first people." Among the many prominent personalities who were born and raised in the city of art, remember Dante Alighieri, Giovanni Boccaccio, Donatello, Masaccio, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli and Michelangelo Buonarroti.
