        Against Florence

        by Mario Colleoni

        Against Florence is a travel journal which includes  walks, personages and unique events that narrate the history of the city and have marked its cultural legacy. From the elegance of the House of Medici to the heroism of Giovanni  Papini or the memory of Giacomo Leopardi; from  the eloquence of Vernon Lee to the universal  spirit of Giampietro Vieusseux; the blazing glows of the Risorgimento or the fictional reunion with Leonardo da Vinci’s Gioconda.Throughout its pages, the reader becomes, step by step, a witness to the city’s decline, drowned by a past which slumbers beneath stones soaked in blood, splendor and memory. Against   Florence is a passionate plea that seeks to recover something that was lost in the decline of this great city, once conceived as the New Athens of Europe.
