"The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection."
Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 – 1564)

With the gentle banks of the Arno river, surrounded by verdant hills, lies exquisite Florence. In this city, here one finds the grace and harmony of an extraordinary past.

Not only in the Medieval Ages, but throughout time, Florence has been an important cultural, commercial and financial centre. When in its period of greatest splendor, under the reign of the Medici family, Florence became the cradle of Renaissance movement. Innovation has been a legacy left by the gifted Florentines of that period. These works are now preserved in many museums including the Galleria degli Uffizi, internationally acclaimed for its art collection. How exceptional that the artistic stylings continue through its entire historic centre, as Florence has achieved acclaim as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Florence is the quintessential destination for an event, meeting or incentive program. Florence…where else in the world does one find the epicenter of historic art and architecture, a vanguard of fashion, fine wines and exquisite cuisine? The city abounds with exclusive hotels and off-site venues, offering unique settings for special events. Florence is the “shadow of divine perfection”, a legacy of the talents of master architects, artists and artisans from a time gone by.
