Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories From Dante "Florence, the most famous and most beauteous daughter of Rome." Dante. "O foster-nurse of man s abandoned glory, Since Athens, its great mother, sunk in splendour; Thou shadowest forth that mighty shape in story, As ocean its wrecked fanes, severe yet tender: The light-invested angel Poesy Was drawn from the dim world to welcome thee." Shelley. Florence, on the river Arno, which has been noted for centuries as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, had, when our story begins, but few of the churches, palaces, and public buildings, decorated with sculpture and frescoes, which were afterwards to make her famous. Her citizens, however, were proud of their town and were continually rebuilding it and extending their borders as their wealth and numbers increased. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries they began to employ the wandering, or "Free" masons, and the sculptors and painters, who, travelling over Europe, erected cathedrals, churches, and stately palaces, as they went.
