Brossura. Condition: new. Illustrazioni di Cardini L.Prato, 2009; br., pp. 160, ill. b/n, cm 14x21.(The Florentine Press). Deirdre Pirro ci guida in un viaggio nel tempo attraverso 40 personaggi dell'Italia contemporanea, mostrando l'italico ingegno all'interno del contesto storico e sociale. "Italian sketches" racconta una nazi…one il cui panorama culturale rimane largamente sconosciuto agli stranieri, anche ai più appassionati del bel paese. L'eloquente prosa di Pirro, con le illustrazioni di Cardini, catturano con grande semplicità e forza le vite di coloro che furono sotto le luci della ribalta, dando il giusto rilievo anche a molte personalità meno conosciute ma il cui ingegno o sacrificio non può essere ignorato. Chiara e godibile, questa intrigante raccolta di brevi biografie mostra un paese le cui sfumature possono essere svelate esclusivamente con un ritratto alla volta ma il cui valore complessivo si apprezza soltanto con questo ritratto d'insieme. Leo Cardini (illustrator). Libro.

Brossura. Condition: new. Illustrations by Leo Cardini.English Text.Prato, 2022; paperback, pp. 116, 116 b/w ill., cm 14x21.(The Florentine Press). Florence has always had a certain allure for royalty, both Italian and international.In Royals in Florence, we meet the regal figures who have resided or vacationed in the Renaissanc…e city and its hills from the eighteenth century onwards. There's the young Rajaram Chuttraputti, the Maharaja of Kolhapur, who passed away in Florence and whose body was cremated and ashes scattered where the Arno and Mugnone rivers meet according to Brahmin tradition. We meet the first king of unified Italy, Vittorio Emanuele, who reluctantly moved his court, including over 30,000 public servants, from Turin to Florence in 1865, and Queen Victoria, who visited the Tuscan city three times, in 1888, 1893 and 1894, during her long reign.Indulge in the chapter on 'Royal Lovers' with Rosina Vercellana, King Vittorio Emanuele's long-term mistress; King Edward VII's mistress, Alice Keppel, who sought solace in Villa Ombrellino, in Bellosguardo; and ballerina and lover of Grand Duke of Tuscany Peter Leopold I, Livia Raimondi, who ruled the roost in her Palazzina della Livia, in piazza San Marco. Cardini, Leo (illustrator). Libro.
