Whether you are interested in financial markets, politics, science, skulduggery or the arts ...... the kinds of things we have come to fear and respect, and sometimes even love .... all start in Florence maybe around the 13th century. If you spend a month there looking at the buildings, art, and getting lost in the museums, you'll tend to come away a different person. I promise. Just Brunelleschi's life alone is a study in all kinds of things. And like him, there are hundred others or more to know. Vasari, for example, a fascinating character, who helped preserve Leonardo's work (from the actions of destructive bosses) hid them by painting over them. It is believed that Leonardo's most famous work (if found, the Battle of Anghiari would likely be the most expensive painting in the world) was hidden by Vasari in this way. They seem to have narrowed down the place but are still looking. Vasari deliberately left clues. He was a very interesting person --- not so well known, but the kind the world desperately needed then.And now.
