Every painted work that is on display in the Uffizi Gallery, The Pitti Palace, the Accademia, and the Duomo is included in the book, plus many or most of the works from 28 of the city's other magnificent museums and churches.

Timothy Verdon (Director of the artworks for the Archdiocese of Florence).
One day we will all get old. Florence is a ninety-seven-year-old woman who is nearing the end of this journey called life. Although we would love for her to be here with us forever, this will not happen. She has lived a long and purposeful life, but one wonders as they talk to her, "Is she happy with the choices that she made? If she could do it all over again, would she want to?" As we travel through the past with her, we witness almost first-hand what it was like to live the life she lived, we walk with her through her fears, her dreams, her disappointments, her joys, her celebrations, and her humanity. Once we have climbed the mountain of "The blameless man" (Psalm 37:37) with Florence, we discover the answer to these questions, and maybe even discover a few answers to our own ticking clocks.

“Florence: Ordeal by Water was absolutely indispensable during my research for Still Life. Here, finally, was a vivid eye-witness account of the 1966 flood that devastated Florence. Utterly compelling.” Sarah Winman, international bestselling author of Still Life. This is a vivid eyewitness account of the 1966 flooding of the River Arno in Florence by the American writer and historian Kathrine Kressmann Taylor. Her infinitely moving diary of the days of the flood, and those that followed, detail how the citizens of Florence strove against the choking sea of mud that engulfed their homes, possessions, shops and art. Published in a beautiful gift hardback edition, with an introduction by acclaimed art historian and journalist, Vanessa Nicolson, Florence: Ordeal by Water documents the disaster in vivid and compassionate detail.
Bess Cooley's Florence is an artful and touching collection of poems with piercing meditations on loss, time, and memory. Cooley's speaker muses about how changes in the body and brain can alter identity, faced with their own body's vulnerabilities and the difficulty of aiding a grandfather through dementia. Intimately linked with the speaker's journey, the poems are a stunning portrayal of the wishes, regrets, and intricacies of a mind's lifetime. The speaker dips in and out of reality, and the reader is welcome to follow. Lines like "I've been writing love poems to my grandfather / who has started to call me the poet, the stranger poet" offer pause and possibility. With an altered mind, reality shifts; but perhaps the erasure of one reality opens room for another. Cooley's poems are the kind you come back to repeatedly to find wisdom, warmth, or remembering. In Florence, the speaker's is an inspiring account of rebuilding after loss, and making sense of what is left.

The city of Michelangelo, Giotto and Botticelli - not to mention Macchiavelli and the Medicis - is one great revelation of the Renaissance. Florence has more eternal art per square mile than anywhere else on earth. You can stroll the Boboli Gardens, shop on the Ponte Vecchio, and sip a cappuccino in the Piazza della Signoria.
