The Florentine Chronicle (also known as the Cronica fiorentina or Cronica di Giovanni Villani) is a medieval historical account written by the Italian chronicler Giovanni Villani. It covers the history of Florence, Italy from its foundation to the year 1348, with later accounts added by his brother and nephew. The Chronicle provides important insights into the political, economic, and cultural history of Florence during the medieval period and is considered one of the most comprehensive sources of Florentine history from that time. It is written in a narrative style and includes information on important events, figures, conflicts, and social developments of the city.
