The city-state of Florence in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries was a city on the rise. All Italian cities experienced urbanization at this time and Florence’s population doubled. But more than almost any other town, Florence saw an explosion in international trade and innovations in finance. A new class of bankers and merchants replaced the old noble families as the center of power, developing a complex, barely democratic social structure that hung in a careful balance.
