ler totalmente Florence (Classic Reprint) (English Edition)

Explore Florence’s art and history through expert, approachable guidance you can trust. This concise guide weaves together vivid museum descriptions, walkable itineraries, and practical directions to the city’s great sights. From the Duomo and the Bargello to iconic chapels and Cenacoli, you’ll learn what to look for in masterpieces and how the city’s past shaped its present.

In these pages you’ll encounter detailed notes on celebrated works, notes on how 15th- and 16th-century styles differ, and practical paths to reach top collections. You’ll also discover suggested excursions that pair sweeping views with close-up looks at sculpture, frescoes, and monumental altarpieces. The book helps readers understand Florence’s enduring beauty, one site at a time.

• Guided glimpses of Cenacolo scenes, including an Andrea del Sarto fresco at S. Salvi and related 16th-century differences from earlier works.

• Descriptions of major landmarks and galleries, with emphasis on notable artists and schools (Ghirlandajo, Fra Angelico, Botticelli, Leonardo, and others).

• Practical routes, tram and walking tips, and car-free ways to explore neighborhoods such as Arcetri, Bellosguardo, and Monte Oliveto.

• Background on Etruscan and Roman remains from nearby towns, with a sense of how ancient artifacts fit Florence’s long history.

Ideal for readers new to Florence or longtime lovers of its art, who want a grounded, readable sense of the city’s treasures and how to see them.

I am always grateful to a book, however inadequate, which has taught me something. Nobody could be more aware than its author of the shortcomings of this one. I shall be content if my readers find, among many faults, that it has helped to teach them how to see Florence. Others may kiaow Florence more intimately : no one could love it better.
