The Siege of Florence, 1530
A brief discussion of the siege of Florence in 1530 by Professor Michael Tafel with the help of Eric Cochrane's book "Florence in the Forgotten Centuries." Technically, the siege of Florence marks the end of the "Florentine Republic" but there are many reasons for its decline and fall which we will discuss in future videos. The video also contains great footage of Florence from the summer of 2023.
