Tour of Florence during the Rinascimento

Rinascimento? Yes, that's the Italian word for Renaissance (the French word for "rebirth")!

For another look at the city of Florence during the time of the Medicis in the Renaissance, check out this interactive tour at the PBS website. We will be using the program about the Medici family as the springboard for our café experience.
