Florence: Heart of the Renaissance

Thanks Rick, well done

I remember hearing that Florence has "Brunelleschi's dome and Giotto's tower."

The most shocking thing I heard when I was in the city was the ignorant question, "I wonder if there's anything really great to see in Florence."

I used to enjoy his shows until he became a woke victim of Trump derangement syndrome 😂😂

A one-sided view of the renaissance, overly focused on art. The most important figure of this period, in the early 17th century, was Galileo.

Don’t think hotel stays are a big drain on RS’s resources, in 2007 in a RS recommended restaurant of about 20 tables at least half had his book. We didn’t have ours, but did have a wonderful meal and experience…

Rick Steve's Europe!

Great work! Just a curiosity to precisate: Chianina beef is from Val di Chiana (Chiana Valley), close to Arezzo in Tuscany, not Chianti.

Outstanding!

THE ITALIANS ARE GREAT AT PILLING BRICK UPON BRICK, STONE UPON STONE TO
SHOW HOW CLEVER THEY CAN BE, WHEN THEY GET ""ORGANIZED""

for beautiful sweet Florence

Thankful 😊

I wish you were going to be in Italy when we go ? I plan on going back for like a month. Maybe you’ll be there then.

Your worst video so far

Why only Europe, Rick?

The history of this city is simply unique...

Too much false and anti Catholic rhetoric not even 5 minutes in. Hogwash

Your wish is my command

Rick, one country that you seem to have left out in your European travels is Russia. I’d love to see you do an episode on St. Petersburg or Moscow.

Very nice video❤. Love Italy

Tres rich tres beaux !

Just great!!!!

That was pretty satisfying when he jumped the line

Speechless

Hello ❤😻

Rick I have been watching your shows for over 30 years thank you for bringing good info tv

The commercial revolution that made possible the wealth of Italy and hence the Renaissance did not start in the 15th century. It started centuries earlier, in the 12th or arguably earlier.

I have a midterm on the early Renaissance tomorrow and this was really good to summarize everything. Thank you!

My watching this is schoo like 😅 🫣

What a wonderful place! Wish we had some places like this here in South America.

Anyone Here From Ac 2?

Pahlavi.....?Vi......??

Asalammualaikum...

Evidently Rick is not a medievalist

Beautiful. Highly informative

These fanatics

Dear Rick Steve I like your video very much, is the David statue really the work of Michelangelo( inside the hall)?

好

Mille Grazie! I’ll be in Florence in two weeks. I love gelato and Michelangelo so can’t wait for this birthday adventure. Ciao

Wonderful video l congratule you friend 👏😍

sir , u deserve a 10 mil subs.

I don't agree Michelangelo was an sculptor, I think he was an genius artist deployed by God to create David for God, It is like Diego Maradona deployed by God to play football in the world !

Beautiful episode Mr Rick, cannot thank you enough.

I'm a first year art history student and between boring classes, this video cheered me up enough to continue my misery and study afterwards. University is always a disappointment somehow. Sometimes you have to take responsibility to educate yourself.

Visited years ago. Thank you for the beautiful refresher video.

Thank you very much!beautiful video!
