"The Idea of Florence still fascinates the world,
because no city in Europe is the showcase of art more than Florence," Paolucci
writes.
"Nowhere else does the voice of a glorious past appear so visible
and still so eloquent. It is not possible to look at Florence with the eyes of
an archeologist; you do not walk the streets of a dead city."
Florence Art and Architecture can be enjoyed on many
levels.
If you are feeling purely visual, thumb through the many
facing pages that represent a single piece of art displayed in nearly
poster-sized 12x20 format.
If you are feeling curious, but not super engaged, gaze
at the art of Donatello, Giotto, Cimabue, Bronzino, Vasari, Pisano, Ghiberti, Della
Robia, Da Vinci, Fra Angelico, Raphael, Masaccio, Lippi, Michelozzo, Michelangelo,
Botticelli, Brunelleschi while reading only the detailed photo captions.
