| It is the Capital of the province and of Tuscany, of which it is the bigger and most densely-populated city. It is also the main historical, artistic, economic and financial hub.
Florence was an important cultural, commercial and financial centre during the Medieval Europe and the Renaissance Period, for long time under Medici rule.
Florence became also the temporary capital of Italy after Turin and Italy unity (1865-1871).
Tourism is a driving force for the Florentine economy thanks to the increased number of conventions and exhibitions, too (especially in Fortezza da Basso area).
In the immediate suburbs, high-fashion industry has grown rooted on the flourishing trades in the most trendy streets of the city centre where there are the greatest fashion-designers shops.
