It is the capital of the Italian region of Tuscany, is situated on the Arno River, and has about 370,000 inhabitants within the city limits. In 1982 the historic center of Florence was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tourism is unquestionably its most important industry and the basilicas of Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella and the Accademia and Uffizi museums are important sights popular with tourists the year round. Between April and October locals are outnumbered by visitors from all over the world. Fashion is a major industry in Florence and the Salvatore Ferragamo empire is at home here, as are subsidiaries of Gucci, Prada, Chanel and Roberto Cavalli. Food and wine have long been an important branch of the Florentine economy. Sangiovese grapes which grow in the Chianti region (a wine-growing region of world renown south of Florence) feature prominently. A visit to beautiful Florence is sheer delight for all the senses.
