Renaissance Florence

by J.H. Plumb

Of all the Italian cities, Florence was the cradle of the Renaissance. But Florentine life was brutal, not gentle. However wealthy and beautiful it appeared, economically and strategically, its position was always desperate. Despite its perils, the families and artists of Florence flourished. Here, from eminent British historian Sir J. H. Plumb, is the story of Renaissance Florence - from the Medici and the Pazzi to Michelangelo and Leonardo.

The Beauty of Florence


Being an Italian and having the fortune of traveling to various parts of Italy, Florence was my favorite. So much beauty in the Uffici Gallery thanks to the Medici family. I have always loved the history behind the Renaissance Florence and this book captivates your imagination😃
