    • 1996, Fred Plotkin, “Introduction: Garibaldi with a Fork”, in Italy for the Gourmet Traveler, Boston, Mass.: Little, Brown and Company, →ISBN, page 5:
      When you plan your first visit to Italy, you will likely put Roma, Firenze, and Venezia at the top of your list, perhaps adding Milano and Napoli as well. These destinations make sense because they are all world-class cities with great history, art, architecture, culture, and food.
    • 2014 December, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, chapter 2, in Sustenance: A Novel of the Count Saint-Germain, New York, N.Y.: Tor, →ISBN, page 40:

Firenze f

  1. Florence (the capital city of Tuscany, Italy)
    • 1348, Giovanni Villani, “Libro primo [First Book]”, in Nuova Cronica [New Chronicle]‎[1], published 1991, section 1:
      Con ciò sia cosa che per gli nostri antichi Fiorentini poche e nonn-ordinate memorie si truovino di fatti passati della nostra città di Firenze, [] , io Giovanni cittadino di Firenze, considerando la nobiltà e grandezza della nostra città a’ nostri presenti tempi, mi pare che si convegna di raccontare e fare memoria dell’origine e cominciamento di così famosa città
      Since few and disorderly memories are found, among our oldest Florentines, of past events of our city Florence, I – Giovanni, citizen of Florence –, considering our city's nobility and greatness at the present time, believe it's appropriate to tell and remember the origin and the beginning of such a famous city.
