Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Touring the traditional craft workshops and historic palazzi that help to preserve Florence's exceptional art and architecture Picturesque medieval streets, breathtaking cathedrals and legendary art: there is much to love about the city of Florence, as its droves of tourists will tell you. Yet the city is not completely overrun by visitors, and Florence's locals are eyewitnesses to today's world while also heirs to a centuries-old history of tradition, creativity and independence.Livia Frescobaldi invites readers to discover the city that lies beyond the tourist realms, in the form of the age-old craft workshops and their ability to preserve all that makes Florence one of the world's most admired cities. Together with photographers Alessandro Moggi and Eugenia Maffei, Frescobaldi charts an itinerary through which to discover the arts and crafts. We visit the botteghe, or storefronts, housing these time-honored practices: framers, stonemasons working in marble or brilliant pietra dura, printmakers and ironworkers. Meanwhile, Frescobaldi also stops to show us some of the most historic palazzi still inhabited and cared for, such as the 13th-century villa home to fashion's Pucci family, or a former monastery-turned-mansion once belonging to Henry Brewster, an American expatriate in Florence. With essays rich in anecdote and admiration, Frescobaldi offers an intimate and original view of what it means to live in Florence today.Livia Frescobaldi grew up in Florence's Oltrarno district. As an appraiser, she has produced valuations for private estates and cultural sites across Italy. She also established the Associazione Amici di Doccia--which she heads--for research into and preservation and promotion of the Ginori porcelain manufactory.

Brossura. Condition: new. Photographs by Maffei E. and Moggi A. English Text. Venezia, 2025; paperback, pp. 280, col. ill., cm 25,5x32. Florence and its craftsmen: an inseparable union that has lasted over the centuries. «The home "is the place of return," it is where "memory is". I agree fully with Emanuele Coccia in his consideration that the setting of our private lives, the one that is most intimate and most familiar to us, is an expression of culture like a work of art or a monument of which we study the origins, the provenance and the material, craving to know and understand everything». Livia Frescobaldi Inside Florence, published by Marsilio Arte, offers an original account of Florence stemming from a love for the preservation of its places and the desire to offer an intimate and fresh look at the beauty and age-old skills of the city's artisan workshops, which make the Tuscan capital one of the most admired cities in the world. The splendid views, the meticulous details of the furnishings, the framing of the images, the care and attention in narrating and describing the opulence and refinement of the Florentine residences, are just some of the elements that author Livia Frescobaldi has selected to trace out an itinerary revealing her favourite places. Through the photography of Alessandro Moggi and Eugenia Maffei, the book appears almost like a fresco with infinite scenarios, the protagonists of which are the heirs of a thousand-year-old history, in a difficult balance between modernity and tradition. There are sixteen sections for sixteen residences - ranging from palaces and gardens to former monasteries - each linked to a specific form of craftsmanship: the first pairing described is that between Palazzo Frescobaldi and the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, with a union rendered indissoluble by the customised Frescobaldi fabric, which has been in production since time immemorial. Inside Florence does not merely hold up a mirror to Florence's architectural and artistic wealth, but is also an act of love towards those professional artisans who, as Leonardo Ferragamo states in his introductory text, 'continue to create the history of the future with their ingenious, persevering and dedicated passion'. Enriched and enhanced by the introductions of Eugenio Giani, President of the Region of Tuscany, and Bernabò Bocca, President of the Fondazione CR Firenze, the books stresses the uniqueness and historic nature of the city of Florence, that jealously guards its art professions and artisan workshops, its well-known palaces and more hidden ones, its gardens and spaces dedicated to contemporary times. The itinerary proposed in its pages has been planned for those who want to live Florence, rather than just visit it. Libro.…

It includes small pieces interesting from the point of view of technique, and large monumental works also of great beauty. Many are unpublished and come from private collections, whilst others have been lent by illustrious institutions overseas.

Brossura. Condition: new. Fotografie di Maffei E. e Moggi A. Venezia, 2025; br., pp. 280, ill. col., cm 25,5x32. "Vivere a Firenze", edito da Marsilio Arte, è un racconto inedito di Firenze che nasce dall'amore per la tutela dei suoi luoghi e dalla volontà di offrire uno sguardo intimo e originale sulla bellezza e la sapienza secolare delle botteghe artigiane cittadine, che fanno del capoluogo toscano una delle città più ammirate al mondo. Gli splendidi scorci, i minuziosi dettagli dell'arredo, le inquadrature, la cura e l'attenzione nel raccontare e descrivere l'opulenza e la raffinatezza delle dimore fiorentine, sono solo alcuni degli elementi che l'autrice Livia Frescobaldi ha selezionato per tracciare un itinerario alla scoperta dei suoi luoghi del cuore. Attraverso la fotografia di Alessandro Moggi e Eugenia Maffei, il volume incarna lo spirito di un affresco dagli infiniti scenari, i cui protagonisti sono gli eredi di una storia millenaria, in un difficile equilibrio tra modernità e tradizione. Sedici sezioni per sedici dimore - tra palazzi, giardini ed ex conventi - ciascuno dei quali legato ad uno specifico mestiere artigianale: il primo binomio raccontato è quello tra Palazzo Frescobaldi e l'Antico Setificio Fiorentino, il cui connubio è reso indissolubile dalla stoffa personalizzata Frescobaldi in produzione da tempi immemorabili. "Vivere a Firenze", oltre ad essere specchio della ricchezza architettonica e artistica fiorentina, è proprio un atto d'amore verso quelle figure professionali che, come sostiene Leonardo Ferragamo nel suo saggio introduttivo, «continuano a creare la storia del futuro con la loro ingegnosa, perseverante e dedicata passione». Arricchito dalle introduzioni di Eugenio Giani, Presidente della Regione Toscana, e Bernabò Bocca, Presidente della Fondazione CR Firenze, la pubblicazione reclama l'unicità e la storicità di una città, Firenze, che gelosamente custodisce i mestieri d'arte e le botteghe artigiane, i palazzi noti e quelli più nascosti, i giardini e gli spazi dedicati all'epoca contemporanea. Un itinerario pensato per chi vuole vivere Firenze, oltre che visitarla. Libro.…
