Publisher's Synopsis
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. Florence: Just Add Water... was thought up, written and designed in collaboration with the renowned Amici dei Musei Fiorentini association, ensuring the highest quality of information; its illustrations give an imaginative richness to the numerous, splendid photographs updated in this new edition.
