This history of Florence approaches the subject from the prominant people involved in the early development of this famous and beautiful Italian city. The sub-title "Dante, Giaotto, Savonarola and Their City" is indicative of this intent, but others, such as Michel Angelo, feature prominantly as does the city's art, architecture, sculptures and scenery. The book concludes with the death of Michel Angelo in 1564 having covered the progess of Florence from the time of Dante (1265-1321), thereby including its time of great classical advances.
