Comment

The coin dedicated to Flora in Art focuses on Florence as icon of the Renaissance, cultural and artistic movement, which had its origin in the Tuscan city between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Age, exerting a great influence upon society, culture and particularly on the figurative arts. The lily, typical symbol of Florence, and a detail from the Spring by Botticelli, depicting Flora, the personification of spring itself, are the representative figurative elements.
