Scholarly and innovative with visually stunning line drawings and
photographs, this volume provides readers with a compelling record
of the unbroken pattern of reciprocal use and exchange between the
countryside and the walled city of Florence, from the thirteenth
century up to the present day. Defying the traditional and
idealized interpretation of the Florentine Villa, the author:
analyzes the economic factors that powered the investment in and
building of country houses and estates from the early Renaissance
times onwards, as well as the ideology and the architectural and
literary models that promoted the Florentine villa explores the
area between Florence and Sesto in its history, morphology and
representation looks at the villas existing in the area. A
contribution to the protection of the important cultural heritage
of the landscape in the Florentine area and of its historic
buildings, villas and gardens, this study makes engaging reading,
not only for scholars and students in architecture, landscape
design and social history, but also for the well informed reader
interested in art, architecture and gardens.
