Florence and the Renaissance: Crash Course European History #2
The Renaissance was a cultural revitalization that spread across Europe, and had repercussions across the globe, but one smallish city-state in Italy was in many ways the epicenter of the thing. Florence, or as Italians might say, Firenze, was the home to a seemingly inordinate amount of the art, architecture, literature, and cultural output of the Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo daVinci, Sandro Boticelli, and many others were associated with the city, and the money of patrons like the Medici family made a lot of the art possible. Today you'll learn about how the Renaissance came to be, and what impact it had on Europe and the world.

Florence The City Of Renaissance - Florence Video Guide
Florence was a centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of that era. It is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages. A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family and numerous religious and republican revolutions.cFrom 1865 to 1871 the city was the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy. The Florentine dialect forms the base of Standard Italian and it became the language of culture throughout Italy due to the prestige of the masterpieces by Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Giovanni Boccaccio, Niccolò Machiavelli and Francesco Guicciardini

इस वीडियो के बारे में ---
2918 की गर्मियों में हमें इटली के फ्लोरेंस शहर जाने का मौका मिला। इस शहर ने हम पर जादू कर दिया। शायद इटली में सबसे अच्छा हमें यहीं लगा। फ्लोरेंस को रेनेसां यानि पुनर्जागरण का शहर कहा जाता है।
पुनर्जागरण का शाब्दिक अर्थ होता है, “फिर से जागना”| चौदहवीं और सोलहवीं शताब्दी के बीच यूरोप में जो सांस्कृतिक प्रगति हुई उसे ही “पुनर्जागरण” कहा जाता है| इसके फलस्वरूप जीवन के प्रत्येक क्षेत्र में नवीन चेतना आई| यह आन्दोलन केवल पुराने ज्ञान के उद्धार तक ही सीमित नहीं था, बल्कि इस युग में कला, साहित्य और विज्ञान के क्षेत्र में नवीन प्रयोग हुए| नए अनुसंधान हुए और ज्ञान-प्राप्ति के नए-नए तरीके खोज निकाले गए|
फ्लोरेंस में पुराने शहर के बीचों बीच डुओमो कथीड्रल है। यही इस शहर की सबसे ऐतिहासिक इमारत है। इसी के आस पास पूरा पुराना शहर बसा है। हम भी इसी के पास ठहरे थे।

Florence. The Renaissance Star
Florence. The 15th century. A sublime miracle appeared in a magnificent town on the Arno. The greatest doctrines of antiquity, and the ideas of philosophers belonging to different historic epochs and cultures, rose from non-existence. Within a short while they caused a revolutionary change in people’s minds, in their vision of life. These revived ideas and thoughts were referred to and studied thoroughly; people turned them into the foundation of their changing world outlook. People spoke about the immortal nature of the soul again asking the eternal questions: “Who am I?”, “Where do I come from?”, “Where do I go?”.
Florence. The 15th century. The world had changed. After hundreds of years of a prolonged and severe medieval era, at one time and place a pleiad of eminent people got together inspiring each other’s creativity. There appeared new models of human existence, as well as great works forestalling the epoch for many centuries.
Italy: Florence – Rick Steves Travel Talks
In this travel class, Rick Steves explains how Florence was the cradle of the Renaissance — and how today's travelers enjoy its art treasures (from the Uffizi to Michelangelo's David), art-filled churches, and delicious Tuscan cuisine. Visit for more European travel information.
FLORENCE, ITALY-THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE LIVES ON!
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Renaissance was born here and it still lives on today as evidenced by its amazing architecture. You will learn the history and little known facts about many of Florence's famous sights and you will feel like you're back in Renaissance times. We start out at the immense Florence Duomo complex which includes the Duomo, Giotto's Bell Tower, Brunelleschi's Dome, Baptistery, Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Museum), and the Santa Reparata Crypt. We then see my (sometimes humorous) climb to the top of Brunelleschi's Dome. Then it's off to the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Galleria dell'Accademia, a great view of Florence from the Piazzale Michelangelo, Santa Croce Church, and the good luck of the Il Porcellino fountain. What an unforgettable experience! Here are the sights in chronological order:
