Florence - Travel Video.  DVD.  Vista Point.  26 Minutes.
Florence is the capital of Tuscany, a city of art and joie de vivre.

With its magnificent tower the Palazzo Vecchio is a communal palace that has been the city’s political centre since the beginning of the 14th century. Originally it was the seat of the city’s Republican rulers but soon afterwards the MEDICI dynasty settled there, the cleverest and most powerful of the handful of families that ruled over the city.

In front of the palace’s façade there is a double life-sized statue that is a copy of Michelangelo’s‚’David’, and in the Galleria Dell` Accademia there are several further sculptures by the great artist that idealised and glorified the strength of the Renaissance people.

The three-sided Gothic cathedral and the Campanile are tightly packed into the city centre’s Cathedral Square and the Santa Maria Del Fiore Cathedral is a replica of St. Peters in Rome and the Cathedral of Milan.

The bronze ‘Tower To Paradise’ adorns the city’s most sacred building, the Battistero, its mighty inner-dome, in Byzantine style, being supported by strong Roman columns while, in a gigantic mosaic, Christ the ‘Judge of the World’ features alongside angels and battles with the devil.

San Lorenzo was the Medici’s cathedral and one of the earliest creations of the Florentine Renaissance. To make way for it, an entire section of the city was torn down, a process that cost the Medici a large sum of money.

Close to the Holy Antonius Cloister there is now a monastery and a museum and everywhere there are striking frescos by the artist Monk, Fra Angelico, several of which are on view in the monastery and its surrounding buildings.

It could be said that the world obtained its taste for culture from Florence, a city in which art and culture unite in beautiful completion.

Florence (Firenze) - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
In Italy’s Tuscany, Florence is a city of art, culture, churches, grand squares and palaces.

At the end of the 14th century, an elite handful of families ruled the city, most notably the Medici, whose highly ostentatious mausoleum was built in the Capelle Medicee.

Pope Eugene the Fourth bequeathed the Dominican orders the ruined Monastery of San Marco and Cosimo De Medici financed the renovation of the site. The main part of the monastery is still inhabited by monks, who pay due deference to its many valuable paintings and works of art.

Wih pride, and perhaps delusions of grandeur, the people of Florence demonstrated their supremacy over all the other towns of the region and the city has thus succeeded in being a combination of beauty, fortitude and religious belief in which art and culture are today united in magnificent finality.
