Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
A splendid general account of the history of Florence aimed at the general reader, with particular emphasis on the crucial Renaissance 14th-15th centuries. Well illustrated also. A must for anyone with a non-specialist interest in the city and/or its art and culture.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Eminently readable account of the history behind the art
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 "unstuffy" 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.
