bro im watching this video because i wanted to know about the history in which im going to play the game assassins creed 2 so it would feel more authentic, historic and richer while experiencing and playing the game, and you just referenced the game in the video, what a coincidence 😂
Can't start a Renaissance without building a few *Domes*. — You've seen the memes, now learn the history behind the magnificent city of Florence!
It may sound like sacrilege, but many years ago, Florence was the first Italian city that little Blue had a cartoonishly-overblown obsession for — Move over, Venice.
"it is a good life we live brother" "the best.may it never change" "and may it never change us"
In fact, Florentine history is basically THE reason I ever started caring about History in the first place. So I hope that you find this exquisite chapter in world history as enjoyable as I do.

One of the greatest Italian dishes was born in Florence because of Il Duomo. Brunelleschi had a problem of the stoneworkers going home for lunch and not coming back. So he had the workers set up terra cotta pots where cheap cuts of meat were cooked slowly in wine and pepper. Thus peposo was created, and to this day, one of the biggest festivals is the peposo cook off.
@paulwagner688finally, talking a bit about it in architecure history
@WhatATwist-neoswingJust went from Sicily to this and got jump scared by Blues old mic
@bargainbinbee"Florence is the coolest!"
Ok this wasn't made by the real Blue. Real Blue would've had to put it second behind Venice.
Florence; I learned that from Overly Sarcastic Productions. 😎
@crazyman8472Literally put this on to entertain me well I grind out some viewpoints in AC 2 was not disappointed🎉
@adrianlotero3716just read "Lent" by Jo Walton and wanted some background as I was curious about whether the Main character (Girolomo) was an actual historical figure. Thanks for the context!
@alexbogue265while very good, i am shocked that Galileo is not mentioned once in the history of Florence, while he is arguably the father of science.

That scared me a little
Flembes?
@JoschiChrIt is so difficult hearing "CAUSE-Ih-MOE" 100 times.
@RylzMunkisterits very common for europe to steal the credit. like they did for math, astronomy, and chemistry (alchemy (literally al-qamiya)) which was invented mostly by arabia india, and china. so thats why im always skeptical when i see a European country thats no. 1 at inventing. but not gonna lie, this is totally different. Florence is actually deserving of all the credit, this is a rare huge W city. a place in the continent that actually fully developed brilliant ideas in art on their own that no one came up with.. there was talented amazing paintings everywhere like the song dynasty. but having a realistic mathematical space in art with vanishing points, and perspective had never been done.
@Money_Man55"No Biggie". That's pretty good. Although we all know that they do manage to grow almost exponetially.
@carlobasilone3133I love the fact that Florence is so integral to Italian society that they Italian language was based off of a Florentine dialect
@Axolotl-xd5elIts estimated that the Medici, at their peak, had a net worth of around 129 billion dollars. Adjusted for inflation, thats around 6.5 QUADRILLION dollars. More money than God is barely an exaggeration.

@daredevilethan8073firenze u mean
@TheMnymoenI’ve always found this topic interesting
@МаргаритаГеоргиева-ъ4цOk
@golgumbazguide...4113Watching this before going to university in Florence feels right
@aqua2949Florence is in Tuscany, where the Etruscans hailed from, and they were the Indigenous Italians, and temain in the DNA of many Italians, particularly in Tuscany. 🗽 go Etruscans!
Romans were Germanics.
... and it was actually the Etruscans engineered the Aqueducts! (Not the Romans, and I suspect Etruscans also created the so called "Roman Concrete")
Romans were certainly "Creative Writing Experts" though.
My history teacher in fifth grade compared the Medici's using their banking influence to gain political power to a Mafia family.
@metarcee2483Wait, is this the music from Assasins Creed 2?
@LexOnYoDome
@SummerEweMy family name, Docchio came from Florence predominantly.
@slgpphSorry, but this dumbed down corny and sometimes vulgar tries way too hard to be cool. Annoying. Just the facts without the cheese please, which seems to be really difficult to find these days. Everything is produced for 5 yrs and under.
@gabrielle-Annashoutout the all the hay bales and leaf piles
@OG.TerribleLove that hit of nostalgia as i am reminded of all the stuff i witnessed in AC 2, ahh the good ol' days of Florence and Venice.
@thirdhandlI wish I could breathe in between the facts thrown at the speed of light by the spokesperson. It is too fast and unfortunate as I had a hard time to actually enjoy the script...
@milouschmidtwe owe a huge debt to Anna Maria Louisa de Medici for bequeathing the Medici's and the Renaissance's treasures to Florence and the world so that it is intact and where we can see it all in one place.
@lindac7324yeah, and my real name is florence too. (lmao)
@flrncoeeNot me watching this video in Florence 😅
@zeph-yranthesSo good! Thanks!
@marcopolo-qs4uufa molto ridere che un fiorentino si metta a guardare un video su Firenze fatto da un americano, ma cavolo mi piace un sacco la tua (vostra) dialettica
