Writers such as Dante, Petrarch and Machiavelli contributed to its proud literary heritage, though it was the paintings and sculptures of artist such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Donatello that turned the city into one of the world's greatest artistic capitals.

The motorway A11 to the sea joins it to Prato, Pistoia, Montecatini, Lucca, Pisa and all the resorts on the Tyrrhenian sea. There is also motorway which connects Florence to Siena. The climate is temperate but rather variable, with breezy winters and hot summers.
Florence founded by the Romans in the
first century B.C., Florence began its rebirth after the decadence
of the barbaric ages, in the Carolingian period, and reached
its highest pinnacles of civilization between the 11th and 15th
centuries, as a free city, balancing the authority of the Emperors
with that of the Popes, overcoming the unfortunate internal
dispute between Guelfs and Ghibellines. In the 15th century,
it came under the rule of the Medici family, who later became
the Grand Dukes of Tuscany. This in fact was the period when
the city was at the height of its glory in art and culture,
in politics and economic power. The Grand Duchy of the Medicis
was succeeded, in the 18th century, by that of the House of
Lorraine, when in 1860 Tuscany became part of the Kingdom of
Italy of which Florence was the capital from 1865 to 1871. In
this century, the city has once more taken up its role as an
important centre for culture and the arts.
