 | | Members of the guilds, who were wealthy and held positions in government, were some of Florence's most influential people in society and politics. | | | Many families of Florence, beginning in the thirteenth century, were successful bankers. | | | Because Florence was not a port city like Venice, sea trade was not a primary source of its income. |

| | The purchase (1421) of the port of Leghorn from Genoa for 100,000 gold florins gave Florence at last a free passage to the sea, nor did the citizens long delay to compete with Venice and Genoa for the trade of the African and Levantine coasts (1421). | | | This is the last stage in the political history of Florence as a distinct state; henceforth the political history of the city is that of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. | | | Piero died in 1469, whereupon his sons Lorenzo and Giuliano were created "princes of the State" (principi dello Stato). |

| | At the time of the Barbarians, Florence was first besieged by the Goths, and then defeated by the 'Silicone', the point at which many historians believe that Christianity was adopted in the area. | | | Florence was only the capital of this kingdom for a few years (between 1865 and 1871) and the court transferred its official residence to the Palazzo Pitti. | | | This is a portent of the multi-cultural society of the future, possible even in a city like Florence which is so over-shadowed by its historical identity and wary of change. |
