Florence represents a cultural model through which scholars trace the beginnings of democracy, freedom, rational thought, scientific method. Florence, in its role as dispenser of a cultural model, continues to nourish its culture through its myth. This is probably because, without the myth that generates curiosity, culture is not nourished because it cannot find the economic resources that allow it to exist. We can therefore debate all we want about why Florence has over time become a legendary city. The fact remains that through this mental process, the city has found and continues to find, new and increasing synergies to feed and spread culture in the world. Book jacket.
