Real Estate - Firenze, Toscana, Italy
Welcome to Engel & Völkers Firenze Michelangelo\\City of art par excellence, Florence is unique in the world for its beauty; no other setting contains such a variety of monuments and great art gathered in one location.\\Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the inspiration for the rich language of Dante and Boccaccio. The ancient and historic city center includes medieval structures where one can find both humble artisans' workshops and the baroque palazzi of the nobility.\\The city is also the capital of the culturally rich province of Tuscany, ruled by the Medici and, later, the House of Lorraine. In the 19th century, Florence became the first capital of the newly unified Italian state.\\Modern Italian style originated in the 1950's with the first fashion show at the Pitti Palace and Florence is still home to some of the world's most famous luxury brands: Gucci, Ferragamo, Coveri, and others. The yearly fashions events of Pitti Immagine and the Polimoda Institute continue the tradition of la moda Italiana.\\Situated on the banks of the river Arno, the city is surrounded by the picturesque, rolling Tuscan hills and is the gateway to the famed Chianti region - where lush olive groves, orchards, splendid villas and rustic farmhouses await discovery. Year-round, the climate is mild, the land is fertile, and time honored traditions have developed the unique arts of wine, olive oil, and the simple, delicious cuisine of Tuscany.\\Tree-lined avenues, intimate gardens with fountains and sculpture, an afternoon aperitif or gelato in a sunny piazza overlooking the Arno - these are not exceptional, but an everyday part of life in Florence.\\Allow our team at Engel & Völkers Firenze Michelangelo to introduce you to the pleasures of Italy and establish your new home in the exquisite city of Florence.
