Italy - Florence - Asian tourists in Piazza della Signoria

An Asian tour group admires renaissance statues in Florence's Piazza della Signoria. With the tall marble replica statue of Neptune in the background as well as the mounted figure of Cosimo Medici on his horse to the left, the tourists are listening to the amplified commentary of their leader who tells them about the history of this city and its context within the medieval world of art and trade. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.
