Book Description
Utile guida alle ville e ai giardini nei dintorni di Firenze, il libro permette di conoscere i complessi architettonici rurali delle più illustri e nobili famiglie fiorentine, prima fra tutte quella dei Medici, e le testimonianze archeologiche della Piana e delle colline a nord-ovest di Firenze. "Circondate da splendidi parchi e giardini - recita la presentazione di Matteo Renzi - le ville medicee, ma non solo, sono una grande ricchezza per i fiorentini ma anche per i turisti". A partire dalla formidabile triade delle ville medicee della zona di confine con Sesto: Petraia, Castello e Corsini, recentemente rilanciata anche grazie al restauro e all'esposizione di pezzi antichi provenienti dagli Uffizi. Ma tante altre ville, musei, luoghi privilegiati per l'incontro con la natura e con l'arte costellano il percorso: ognuno potrà divertirsi a scoprirli, sul territorio e sul volume. "L'iniziativa inviterà chi non ne ha l'esperienza diretta - scrive Cristina Acidini - a familiarizzare con le novità degli ultimi anni, dalla sistemazione delle magnifiche fontane cinquecentesche di Castello e Petraia alle colture introdotte nei giardini.

Book Description
Medici Gardens challenges the common assumption that such gardens as Trebbio, Cafaggiolo, Careggi, and Fiesole were the products of an established design practice whereby one client commissioned one architect or artist. The book suggests that in the case of the gardens in Florence garden making preceded its theoretical articulation.

Book Description
An extraordinary memoir by Iris Origo, who chronicled political life in A Chill in the Air and War in Val d'Orcia, and now turns inward to describe her own family, the work of writing, and the transcience of memory. Images and Shadows, Iris Origo’s autobiographical account of her early life, is as perceptive and humane and beautifully written as her celebrated memoir War in Val d’Orcia. Origo’s father came from an old and moneyed American family, her mother was the daughter of an Irish peer, and Iris grew up in the most privileged of circumstances. Her father died of tuberculosis when he was only thirty, and her mother moved to Fiesole, Italy, where she and Iris developed a close friendship with the great connoisseur and art historian Bernard Berenson. Later, Origo and her Italian husband transformed a desolate and deforested Tuscan property into a flourishing estate, and it was there that she discovered her true calling as a writer. In Images and Shadows, Origo paints portraits of her shy, loving father and her headstrong mother, and describes beloved places, the books that formed her sensibility, and how she grew up and made her way in the world. She reflects on the pleasures and challenges of writing and evokes the persistence and fragility of memory. Images and Shadows is an autobiography that is as thoughtful as it is profoundly touching.
