The City is a Piece of Work Itself Famed for centuries for its outrageous power and its economic might (the powers that gave us the golden florins), today's Florence is still an awesome example of the rich and powerful cultivating style, wealth and the arts. From Brunelleschi's famed dome which dominates this small city, you can see as many red-tiled rooftops as you please in a splendid valley encircled by a ring of mountains, all embracing one of the greatest depositories of art and artefact on Earth. |
