Florence, the leading Italian city in the beautiful province of Tuscany, is full of artistic treasures. It is the birthplace of Machiavelli, Dante and many others. Its beauty and its setting, as well as its historical importance, make Florence one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions. The Ponte Vecchio bridge, built in 1333 and lined traditionally with goldsmith and jewelry shops, is one of seven beautiful bridges across the Arno River. The 13th century Palazzo Vecchio on the Piazza della Signoria is now city hall. Alongside is the U-shaped Uffizi palace, which has housed a great Renaissance art collection since 1560.
