Sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries, a small city on the banks of the Arno River decided—without knowing it was deciding—to change the world.
Florence produced Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Dante, and Machiavelli. It invented the Renaissance, created the modern banking system, and exported ideas that are still present in everything you see and use today.
This series tells that story, with the depth of a documentary and the pacing of a literary narrative.
Every great story has an address. And this world began here.
