Florence was the center of the wool trade, which brought a lot of money into the city. With so much wealth in their economy, other businesses flourished, especially banking. The Medici family were bankers, making their money from managing the money of merchants.

As in the area of Italy called Florence and its wealth?
That came from it being a major center for trade in its day. Its position on the Mediterranean Sea was great for it to trade with all sorts of areas.
