A desktop wallpaper that shows the rooftops of Florence in all their glory. Florence was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Politically, economically, and culturally it was just about the most important city in Europe for something approaching 250 years - from sometime before 1300 until the early 1500s. Florentines reinvented money - in the form of the gold florin - which was the engine that drove Europe out of the Dark Ages a term invented by Petrarch, a Florentine. They financed the development of industry all over Europe - from Britain to Bruges, to Lyon, to Hungary. They financed the English kings during the Hundred Years War. They financed the papacy, including the construction of Avignon and the reconstruction of Rome when the papacy returned from the Babylonian captivity. This photo shows the rooftops of this famous and magnificient city.
