By Heidi Johnson-Wright
The Louvre,
the Prado, and the Met are world-class art institutions: must-see attractions
when visiting Paris, Madrid and New York.
No disrespect
to those cities, but when it comes to art, Florence is a world apart.
The whole
darn town is a work of art.
Unless
you’re fortunate enough to spend several months there as a student or retiree,
a visit to Firenze likely means you’ll have very limited time to take it all
in.
Acquire
some context and focus before you go, and the experience will be much richer.
Grab a
latte, find a quiet corner and crack open Judith Testa’s An Art Lover’s Guide
to Florence.
Paperback: $22.50:
