Florence Food Hunt: Gold Florin & 7th Circle of Pork 🇮🇹

■ FLORENCE, ITALY: As the epicentre of the Renaissance that re-juvenated the entire continent of Europe and left us with some of the world's most timeless works of art (Michelangelo's David) and architectural masterpieces (Brunelleschi's dome, Palazzo Vecchio), Florence might just be the most accomplished and glorious city in modern European history.

But how did all this come about? Why were so much money plowed into making frescos, sculptures and Palazzos? And how on earth did the people of Florence fund all this? 🤔

The economic history of Florence is as glorious as it is under-appreciated by the millions of tourists who visit from all around the world every year.

So let's change that by looking at how Florence became so wealthy and adorned with the greatest art collection known to man despite a modest population of roughly 60 000 people as I devour the many culinary delights the city has to offer from pork sandwiches and beef steaks to cow tongue and Chianti.
