The city of Florence is both an art form in itself and an open-air museum. The one hundred and forty photographs in Florence illustrate the beauty of this ancient city and provide a complete picture of its artistic treasures. The text by historian Mario Scalini provides insight into each work and contextualizes it within the story of the artists and their relationship to their patrons. Florence is a book you will return to again and again to delight in the beauty of the city and the majesty of its art.
