Synopsis
Excerpt from Old Florence and Modern Tuscany
Some may think my pictures of the Tuscan peasants flattering and highly coloured. I can only say that I have lived among them for thirty-four years, and that nowhere does the golden rule, DO as you would be done by, hold good so much as in Italy.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This enthralling book casts a fresh light on the lives and legacies of the Medici through the vivid tale of their household chaplain, Matteo Franco.
