Giovanni Villani's New Chronicle traces the history of Europe,
Italy, and Florence over a vast sweep of time - from the Tower of
Babel to the great earthquake of 1348. In the eleventh and twelfth
books, Villani depicts a particularly eventful period in the
history of Florence, whose grandeur is illustrated in several
famous chapters describing the city's income, expenses, and
magnificence. The dramatic account follows Florence's internal
affairs as well as its conflicts with powerful lords like
Castruccio Castracani and Mastino della Scala. The chronicler's
perspective, however, ranges beyond his city, as he documents such
events as the imperial coronation of Louis of Bavaria, the
penitential pilgrimage of Venturino da Bergamo, and the first
campaigns of the Hundred Year's War.
