Art & Architecture
In many respects, the history of Tuscan art is also the history of Western art. Browse
through any text on the subject and you'll quickly develop an understanding of how
influential the Italian Renaissance - which kicked off and reached its greatest flower-
ing in Florence - has been over the past 500 years. Indeed, it's no exaggeration to say
that architecture, painting and sculpture rely on its technical innovations and take in-
spiration from its major works to this very day.
