In a poem, Michelangelo had this description in its own personality and life as an artist: "burning sulfur like heart, the soul of the wizard, you cannot constrain the wishes of the passion passionate outburst annoying arrogance.

If I was born to art, from childhood to become victims of beauty, should condemn that made me angry to the goddess of the service. ”

Through some bending of the River Arno alley, we walk into the city centre is located in du Tuomo square.

The square was originally limited space around an ambitious building even more sensitive to persecute and betrayed.

Santa Maria Cathedral is the Renaissance's first great landmark, built in 1496.

The Church above the dome by Brunelleschi Brune, the overall style of design as a Gothic church, facade with black, blue, green, pink and white marble tricolor stripe pattern built, bright and harmonic colors. Completed, the Cathedral became the distinctive signs, in Florence for generation after generation of historians, architects, poets and scholars the admiration and respect!

The Church Bell Tower on the right side is Picciotto, high 89 m, is the world's most beautiful clock tower.

1293 years, Florence was formulated with the constitutional nature of the Justice's Statute, further strengthening the seven rows on the Government's control, and all the noble giants as dictatorship objects, require any nobility shall serve as the Government positions, all noble House has to pay the hostages and deposit, pledge to abide by the law to be made, otherwise.

People generally believe that time: the nobility in Florence were deprived of all rights to participate in Government, today it seems that this is a BuddhaFlorence Republic is an important symbol of bourgeois regime. In this economic and political background, Florence became the cradle of the Renaissance culture and largest centre, City Government and seven rows have cultural leadership, the Church's culture of control greatly weakened, in urban environments grow up new knowledge sectors interested in the secular culture and community cultural development, with particular focus on using classical culture to exclusion, transforming the culture of the feudal churches theology. In education, on the basis of the new generation, the overall quality of the Florence community greatly improved, the community formed the focus of free, good at innovation, respect talent, efficient new atmosphere, the results of this city only 100 000 population in all walks of life, in the literary, artistic, scientific, technological, political and legal circles are uncompromising outstanding figures. · Amir Ludwig conclusion is---in Italy's cities, there is the seat of aura than Florence richer.

Santa Maria Cathedral, turned into an unknown alley, we see a rough masonry structures of milk yellow old three-storey Diaolou.

Uneven walls, hanging side one metre square red cloth flags: Dante Museum. The Renaissance of pioneering character Dante (1265-1321), in the famous poem "the Divine Comedy" in describing his hell, heaven journey lianyu and and the way of evil, in virtue of Christian epic in injecting new ideas. He also strongly criticized the Church, was later referred to as "he became a role model, a lighthouse, a mentor". Because city internal political struggle, he 1301 year exile, life in a strange wandering for most of the time. After his death, he was banished to the custody of Florence his remains and other cities of Italy.

In Dante this epic poet after another lofty mountains, is our well-known lyric poets frantsi Bosco · Peter Terra grams (1304-1374).

He is famous for its famous 14 lines, as Europe lyrics opens the way for the development, after people look up to him as "the great poet", known as the "father of the Renaissance." In his poem the moment all is silence "revealed a longing for a new life of anxious mood---

I am suffering, cannot reach the shore;

Every day I die a thousand times, it was a thousand times,

I left happy journey is still very long.

And Peter Terra g have the same ideas of humanism and knot as buddy is another Florentine Bogaqiu (1313-1375).

He is a brilliant writers, academics, parliamentarians, also worked as an Ambassador. His work is huge, but the most influential is a novel 10 about the law. Book seven women and three men, the story in more than 100 articles, spicy and expose the ironic Catholic monks and feudal nobles life decay, moral decay, praise businessmen, craftsmen and so wise and brave, praise and love between young men and women. Love this earthly life, bogaqiu firmly against asceticism, thinking more than Peter Terra, a major step forward. Work shows democratic tendencies in the early Renaissance.

Be polite as "houlairen Renaissance literature third Kit" three Masters, after all, is 700 years ago, the ancients, and of course the inevitable zone has the distinct characteristics of the times, this was the critics called the past, present and future of pull in a piece of "Ya Nusa Achilles face" phenomenon, people always feel that there is a lot of regrets.

However, as soon as you think about 700 years ago our intellectuals (if there is such a thing) also stuck in the "Emperor pregnancy, small sins the million dead" dark mire obsessive, Dante's timely emergence and on world history of tremendous impetus should be self-evident.
