Description

Benvenuto Cellini's autobiography is a vivid portrait of life in 16th-century Italy, revealing the complexities and contradictions of its rulers and subjects. Written with supreme powers of invective and humour, this memoir offers an unrivalled glimpse into the palaces and prisons of the time.

Cellini's story is one of passion, adventure, and controversy, as he navigates the treacherous world of Renaissance politics and art. With its unique blend of wit, charm, and unflinching honesty, this autobiography provides a fascinating insight into the Italy of Michelangelo and the Medici.

Published by National Geographic Books, this edition brings Cellini's remarkable life story to readers in English for the first time. With its introduction and notes by distinguished scholars, it offers a authoritative text that is enhanced by up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
