174 IT - Historic Centre of Florence (1982)

Brief Description

"Built on the site of an Etruscan settlement, Florence, the symbol of the Renaissance, rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the Medici in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity can be seen above all in the 13th-century cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Church of Santa Croce, the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, the work of great masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo."

佛罗伦萨历史中心
"佛罗伦萨是在一个意大利古国伊特鲁里亚的定居点上建立起来 的。作为文艺复兴的象征,佛罗伦萨在15世纪和16世纪的梅迪奇(Medici)时代达到它在经济和文化上的顶峰。600年来佛罗伦萨的艺术活动异常活 跃,这首先可以从它13世纪的菲奥里的圣玛利亚教堂中就可以看出,当然也包括圣十字教堂、乌菲齐宫、皮蒂宫,以及乔托、布鲁内莱斯基、博蒂切利和米开朗基 罗等大师的杰作等。"
