Synopsis Examines the artistic heritage of Florence in the light of the city's turbulent history. This is not only an account of the city of Dante and Machiavelli, but a practical guidebook. The author also wrote biographies of London, Rome and Venice. Eminently readable account of the history behind the art, January 15, 2000 Review: A reader from UK writes- Only Hibbert could write 'the biography of a city'. He brings Florence alive with his lively narrative while not skimping on the historical detail. The most andquot;unstuffyandquot; history book I have ever read, it only serves to make me want to jump on a plane immediately and re-explore this fascinating city. Whether a traveller or historian this is an indispensable book.
