Historic Centre of Florence
Florence is a symbol of the Renaissance, founded as an Etruscan settlement, which rose to economic and cultural dominance under the Medici family in the 15th and 16th centuries. Florence's 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity are reflected in the 13th-century cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), Santa Croce, the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace, as well as works by masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo.
Padua’s fourteenth-century fresco cycles
The site, which consists of eight religious and secular complexes located within the historic walls of Padua, houses a series of frescoes created between 1302 and 1397 by different artists for different types of patrons and in different types of buildings. Despite this, these frescoes maintain a unity of style and content. They include Giotto's Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, which are considered to mark the beginning of a revolutionary development in the history of fresco painting, as well as frescoes by other different artists, namely Guariento di Arpo, Giusto de' Menabuoi, Altichiero da Zevio, Jacopo Avanzi and Jacopo da Verona. As a whole, these frescoes show how, over the course of a century, the art of fresco painting developed along new creative impulses and understandings of spatial representation.
