About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Francesco Guardi, Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto. Florence in the 1490s - Savonarola preaching, the Medici expelled, and a young Greek scholar's wife discovering what her husband is.

This edition is bound with sixty plates of painting, among them works by Botticelli, Munch and Canaletto.
