Abstract: This book is the ideal companion to discover the ancient heart of Florence through the eyes of an exceptional witness: Marco di Bartolomeo Rustici (1392/93-1457), goldsmith and humanist, author of an extraordinary Codex that takes his name. In the Codex, Rustici describes and depicts religious and secular elements of the historic center of Florence around 1450. At the time, the city’s medieval urban fabric was being enriched with grandiose Renaissance monuments designed by Filippo Brunelleschi and other famous architects and commissioned by the institutions in power. Rustici’s unique and personal journey will take you to the great Christian temples, such as the Baptistery and the Duomo, but also to the ancient and smaller churches that disappeared with urban renewal projects in the city of the 19th century. Rustici’s accurate watercolor drawings are shown here alongside their contemporary correspondents in today’s Florence. It is an astonishing sequence of similarities and differences that encapsulate the most intimate identity of Florence: a city that holds on tenaciously to its own memory, one that keeps changing while remaining true to itself.

Firenze, Olschki 2019, cm.15x21, pp.128, brossura, copertina figurata a colori. In questo libro, si riscopre il cuore antico di Firenze grazie a un testimone speciale: l'orafo Marco Rustici (1392/3-1457), autore di uno straordinario Codice, in cui è protagonista la città com'era attorno al 1450. I suoi disegni acquerellati sono qui messi a confronto con le grandi chiese esistenti, ma anche coi luoghi e i resti delle altre chiese e chiesette scomparse. La stupefacente sequenza di somiglianze e differenze racchiude l'identità profonda di Firenze: una città ricca di memoria, capace di cambiare restando se stessa.

London, Arnold 2002, cm.13x20, pp.XVIII,584, paperback. Bosworth's Mussolini allows us to come closer than ever before to an understanding of the life and actions of the dictator and of the political world and society within which he operated. This biography paints a picture of brutality and failure in governance with insight into Mussolini as a human being shaped by the particular patterns of Italian society which were so vastly different from Axis partners Germany and Japan. Mussolini was a brutal tyrant who added untold numbers to the dead of war torn Europe but we cannot understand his regime by equating it with Hitler or Stalin. His life began modestly in the provinces and he maintained a traditional family life for a man of his time including both a wife and mistresses. He sought in his way to be an intellectual but was capable of cruelty and was a racist with the consistency and vigor which would have made him a good recruit for the SS. He sought an empire but, for the most part, was more of an old-fashioned nineteenth century despot not a racial or ideological imperium. His end came in 1945 in the closing days of World War II. Disguised in German greatcoat and helmet, Mussolini attempted to escape from the advancing Allied armies but was stopped by partisans who recognized his features, made so familiar by Fascist propaganda which eventually gave him away, and within 24 hours he was publicly executed.
