This selection offers a glimpse into Florence's enduring appeal to foreigners, as well as its complex history under Fascism and World War II. The city's rich cultural heritage is illuminated by the stories of George Eliot, Rainer Maria Rilke, Iris Origo and Penelope Fitzgerald, among others. With its diverse range of voices and perspectives, this anthology provides a unique insight into the many faces of Florence, a city that has captivated writers for centuries.
