Title: A book with a view
Review: I took this book with me to Florence and it turned out to be the most useful thing I packed. After spending several days going to see all the paintings and churches my Blue Guide recommended, it was a pleasure to see Florence through this author's eyes. I did not know that the David of Michelangelo in the Piazza della Signoria was a copy, for example, and that the original that used to stand in the same place was moved on a makeshift railroad to its present home in the 1800s. Walking the course of David's journey made seeing the original more meaningful to me. But this whole book is filled with amazing pieces of history that are a perfect antidote to the routine traveler's experience of Florence. Most highly recommended.
