Pisa, about two hours drive away so we went to a famous historic city of the European Renaissance - Florence, Italy. For most of Florence from the previous impression of the book is always with the "Renaissance" linked to those descriptions. "David", "Dante," "Da Vinci" And her beautiful alias "Florence." Even today, when I finally stood in front of her only when she suddenly found great. Is this a long time longing for the Renaissance is my city?
The Arno valley lying among the rolling hills surrounded by the Apennine mountain range surrounded by the city, was the man who hold high the banner of the Florentine Renaissance, that nurtured the literary masters of early Italian Renaissance Dante, Boccaccio, and peak " Art three heroes "Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael in Florence, the aura of history, now is still so great.
Florence was originally a Roman military fort, then gradually developed into a bustling Roman city of the territory, prosperity lasted until the 4th century AD. In about a thousand years later, Florence and elsewhere in Europe, has experienced a long Middle Ages. In that future generations often use the "dark" word to describe the era, the feudal church monopoly of knowledge. With the library records of books of ancient civilization was from the fire engulfed the church of hate, Culture and Science has been an unprecedented repression, feudal theology almost usurped the "knowledge" all the connotations of the word. To clerics at the seminary year after year, never tired to argue, "Some angels can stand on the tip?" Such "problems" when the teachings of those who dare to cross-examination to explore the truth of the Inquisition who been with "heresy" charges, tie went to the stake column; but this time the vast majority of ordinary civilians, but to accept their fate of illiteracy, in the light of knowledge can not see a trace of a life of darkness.
