Any major one of the Italy Vacation Packages will include Florence. Florence is the acknowledged capital of northern Italy. It is, of course, the regional capital of Tuscany. We bet that the manufacturing cities of Milan and Bologna in the North of Italy would chirp in! Milan is the home of Da Vinci’s famous fresco of Christ’s Last Supper.
Florence (along with Rome) was the birthplace of the Renaissance. It is similar in presence and influence to Athens in its prime. Florence was governed by the powerful Medici family, and had numerous rivalries with nearby city-states, such as Siena.
In Florence, your Italy Vacation Packages guide will take you through the internationally famous Uffizi Gallery, home to some of the Renaissance’s most famous art. The work of many of the world’s greatest artists can still be seen up close. You can be just a few feet from the internationally famous statue of David, by Michelangelo Buonarroti.
