Description
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Florence in 1490; under the patronage of Lorenzo de' Medici, no city on earth can match its culture, learning, art, and naked ambition. Written in the style of a modern travel guide but illustrated with period art in black and white and color, this history of Renaissance Florence by real-life cultural tour guide Charles FitzRoy tells you how to meet the Medicis, visit Leonardo da Vinci's studio, or dine with refinement at a palazzo. Marvel at Brunelleschi's sublime cathedral dome, lose yourself in the often-riotous local feasts and festivals, and perhaps explore the darker side of life in the city, from its taverns and brothels to the grisly punishments meted out to wrongdoers.
