Publisher's Synopsis
The sixth volume concludes Angiolo Pucci's monumental work on the gardens of Florence. The author describes gardens, orchards and stately palaces scattered in the hilly belt of the communes surrounding Florence. The area makes the Florentine context unique. The anthropization and stratification of the landscape combine nature, crops, roads and architecture in a continuum between city and countryside that is found nowhere else. Unique work, it is the historical description of the Florentine landscape and gardens.
