	Florence
		Florence (Italian: Firenze) is the capital city of the region of Tuscany, Italy.
		The extinction of the Medici line and the accession in 1737 of Francis Stephen, duke of Lorraine and husband of Maria Theresa of Austria, led to Tuscany's inclusion in the territories of the Austrian crown.
		The crowning architectural jewel of Florence is the domed cathedral of the city, Santa Maria del Fiore, known as "The Duomo".

	Benedetto Accolti and the Florentine Renaissance - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Benedetto Accolti's interests ranged from rhetoric, humanism and Italian poetry to Roman law, from historical thought and medieval antiquarianism to the crusades and church history, and his work as a scholar, author and historian is placed in a wide context stretching from antiquity to the eighteenth century.
		The intellectual, political and economic milieu of Accolti's native city of Arezzo, neglected in modern scholarship, is explored, and the importance of Accolti's career as chancellor of Florence, his role in bringing the new learning to the chancery and his work as an administrative reformer are recognized for the first time.
		Florence's response to the Turkish menace and contribution to papal crusading efforts are reinterpreted, and new information regarding Accolti's connections with leading Florentine patricians is brought to light.

		The second generation was led by Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406), chancellor of Florence 1375-1406 and a disciple of Petrarch.
		When he died Niccoli left his library to Cosimo (to pay off his debts) and to the city of Florence, stipulating that the books were to be housed in a library which was to be open to the public for study.
		The most important consequence for Florence was the introduction of Platonism by some of the Greeks present and the subsequent development of a "Platonic academy" in Florence (see immediately below, 3b).

		The most famous example is Leonardo Bruni of Arezzo, pupil of the Chancellor of Florence, Coluccio Salutati.
		Bruni apparently underwent a conversion from scholarly aloofness to active defence of republican political values: these ideas were central to his Panegyric to the City of Florence written in 1403 or 1404 during a lull in the on-going conflict with Milan.
		Bruni left Florence in 1405 and went to work as a secretary for the papacy — an institution that embodied thoroughly monarchic (if not despotic) tendencies — but returned to Florence in 1415 and later became Chancellor.

	World's Greatest Classic Books - The Prince
		When Florence was threatened in 1512 by the Spanish, who wished to restore the Medici family to power, Machiavelli mobilized an army of twelve thousand men to repel the invasion.
		Within weeks the free republic of Florence was dissolved in favor of an oligarchy- a government where ruling power belongs to a few- and the Medici family assumed absolute power.
		In the eighteenth century, the citizens of Florence erected a monument to his memory; the inscription is simply, “No praise can enhance such a great name.” One of Machiavelli’s reasons for writing The Prince was to provide an Italian ruler with the skills necessary to unite the fragmented peninsula against foreign domination.

	FREE Barron's Booknotes for The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli-BIOGRAPHY-Free Book Notes Chapter Summary Online Plot ...
		Machiavelli's father, Bernardo, a lawyer, was friendly with several distinguished humanist scholars, including Bartolomeo Scala, who at one time served as first chancellor of Florence and whose treatise On Laws and Legal Judgments (1483) was dedicated to Bernardo.
		Later, he was accepted at the University of Florence, where he received training in the humanities, literature, and sciences from Marcello Adriani, who succeeded Scala as first chancellor of Florence.
		Adriani had taken over as first chancellor earlier in the same year, and it's reasonable to assume that he remembered the talents of his brilliant student when he was filling vacancies in the chancery.

	Review: Dressing Renaissance Florence: Families, Fortunes, and Fine Clothing
		Marco Parenti, whose expenditure of 560 florins on his bride’s clothing has often been used as an example of foolishly extravagant expenditure, is found to have spent only 37.5 florins the following year and to have averaged only 106 florins annually for his whole family.
		By exploring the world of the artisanal class that created the clothes, Collier Frick seeks to move beyond analyses of Florence that have simply concentrated on the gap between the labouring classes and the patriciate.
		By concentrating so exclusively on Florence, Collier Frick concludes that, 'For the first time in European history, it was here in Quattrocento Florence that ‘fashion’ was fully articulated and became the most widely available form of conspicuous consumption' (p.
