florentIA | Sixteenth-Century Florence imagined by artificial intelligence

florentIA is an artistic and cinematic work by Marco Ciofalo, entirely generated through artificial intelligence.

This video is not a historical documentary.
It is not a philological reconstruction of sixteenth-century Florence.

It is a visual and emotional experience.
It is an imagination.

Texts, images, voices, music and environments are the result of creative AI-driven processes, reimagining Florence at its Renaissance peak: a city of power, beauty, genius and mystery.

florentIA does not tell history as it was,
but as it could be remembered, dreamed, perceived.

Any reference to real events, places or historical figures is inspired by history, but reshaped through a narrative and artistic lens.
The Florence portrayed here is an evocative vision, not an authentic reconstruction.

This project explores the boundary between memory and imagination, between human art and artificial vision, asking a simple question:

can an artificial intelligence attempt to imagine the soul of a city?
