Florence is one of the most legendary cities in Italy 🇮🇹. Everyone knows Rome, the capital, Venice as the city of love ❤️, and Milan for fashion and soccer ⚽. Florence (or Firenze, as it's locally known 🗣️), stands as the city of the Renaissance, a period that witnessed numerous timeless artists shaping the history of painting and sculpture 🎨. Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo 👼 and even Leonardo da Vinci were all either born in or near Florence. The city also plays a significant role in sports; Fiorentina is a powerhouse of Italian football, the city districts compete annually in a calcio fiorentino tournament (a game unique to the city 🌆), and the highlight being the Florence Marathon, drawing countless runners from all over Italy 🇮🇹 and Europe 🇪🇺 year after year to tackle legendary distances.
