Niccolo Capponi

Born in Florence nearly half a century ago, Niccolò Capponi has imbibed that peculiar Florentine spirit by which not much is sacred, and even less to be trusted. This served him very well when he decided to become a historian, and over the years he has often aroused the ire of quite a few people, adversed to see their cherished myths challenged. Niccolò Capponi, however, believes that with intelligent people one can iron-out differences over a glass (or a bottle) of good wine.
