The first pop-up book on Florence. Dario Cestaro's spectacular drawings
and paper architecture reveal Florence and its treasures in a pop-up
book telling the city's history with straightforward texts and
interesting facts. This fascinating journey in colored pages shaped into
Florence's most celebrated landmarks will help even younger children to
recognize the main buildings: the cathedral with its famous ogival dome;
the Palazzo Vecchio with its great tower and crenellated walls; the
Palazzo Pitti, once the Medicis' majestic ducal residence; the Ponte
Vecchio, the iconic bridge over the Arno with its historic craft shops;
the Church of Santa Croce, which contains tombs and monuments to many
illustrious persons (Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo).
