Florence by Dana Facaros

Florence by Dana Facaros

From the 13th to the 16th century, Florence was a seemingly endless source of creative masterpieces and Italian genius. The Italian Renaissance, Europe's richest cultural period, began there. Its chapels, galleries and museums are an inexhaustible treasure, capturing the complex, often elusive spirit of the Renaissance more fully than any other place in the world. This volume will guide you through the museums, churches, squares and fountains that make this feast for the senses.

Dana Facaros has loved Greece since she was 14 years old, when she spent a summer on her father's native island of Ikaria. She has been traveling and writing about the country since 1977, when she created her first guidebook, to the Greek islands, after studying ancient Greek, mythology, and the classics during a brief stay at university. She then collaborated with Linda Theodorou on the Cadogan guide to all of Greece, which was published in 2003. She has since become a Greek citizen and contributes to the Sunday Times and Sunday Times Travel Magazine on a regular basis.
