The people of Renaissance Florence, like most city–states of the era, were composed of four social classes: the nobles, the merchants, the tradesmen and the unskilled workers. The nobles lived on large estates outside the city walls. They owned most of the city’s land, so the nobles controlled.

Sociologists generally posit three classes: upper, working (or lower), and middle.
