Florence:
A Portrait
by Michael Levey
The usual tourist group's stay in Florence begins with the Duomo, runs
through the paintings in the Uffizi, includes a visit to Michaelangelo's
"David" and ends with a parade through a handful of churches, but the visitor
who first reads Sir Michael Levey's portrait of the city will find rewards
off that well-worn track. The city, a self-styled "new Athens" supported
a wealth of artists, sculptors, humanists, and scholars, not to mention
more than its share of wealthy individuals, who taken together, helped
turn Florence into one of the world's great provincial outposts. Layering
telling details, little-known facts and carefully explained social and
intellectual history, Levey weaves a dense tale of this charming city,
from the Middle Ages to the Quattrocento, through the Renaissance and on
up to the early years of this century. Amazon.com

Stones
Of Florence
by Mary McCarthy
It becomes evident from the first page of "The Stones Of Florence"
that Mary McCarthy loves her subject. Yet hers is the steady love of a
long acquaintance, an affection that has deepened from mere infatuation
to a steady, clear-eyed regard. In this witty tribute to Florence, Mary
McCarthy explores the city's past and present, in the process offering
up a tour that covers everything from a description of oil painting to
the remarkable history behind Florence's many towers. "The Stones Of Florence"
is ideal for reading on the plane ride to Italy, but it's also perfect
for armchair travelers, art lovers, and students of the Renaissance. Amazon.com
