About

What did the city of Florence possess in the 15th century that was key to the emergence of the
ideas and culture of the (Italian) Renaissance? And why did it flourish so spectacularly? The story is so familiar. But was this something that was so effectively reported and propagandised by people such as Giorgio Vasari that we accept Florence was indeed where the Italian Renaissance emerged?
