A colourful and entertaining guide
for visiting - or getting better acquainted with - the city of Florence
and its artistic wonders. An amusing story that you will find yourself
reading over and over again: it will be your ally to better enjoy your
visit to the most famous art city in the world. The guide will entertain
you with fun facts and anecdotes narrated through the story of Philip
and his guides: his uncle Charlie, a world-famous archaeologist, and his
friend Giulia, a talented restorer. On this fascinating journey, our
heroes venture out into the streets, palaces, churches, museums and
gardens of Florence. Through their journey, they will meet the most
diverse characters (saints, painters, scientists, architects, popes,
politicians), some famous, and others less so - but all of them quirky
enough. This book will bring together young readers and adults,
entertaining both with the most interesting facts about the city,
through the simple and discursive way of its narration.
