Explore Florence's history on this self-guided audio tour produced by art historian Cornelia Danielson. Stroll along the Arno river and cross ancient bridges including the magnificent Ponte Vecchio, seeing a side of the city most visitors miss. This 90-minute journey reveals how the Arno determined Florence's location, powered its medieval wool industry, and connected the city to the wider world. Marvel at architectural treasures like Michelangelo's Ponte Santa Trinita and elegant Renaissance palaces including Palazzo Corsini, while exploring the fascinating Oltrarno neighborhood where dyers and weavers once lived in the shadow of noble residences. Learn about the devastating 1966 flood that damaged the National Central Library, where Mud Angels worked to save precious books, before ending at the impressive Porta San Frediano gateway with a deeper understanding of how humble wool workers and powerful merchant families like the Medici shaped one of Europe's greatest cities.
