商品簡介
This book provides a 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. It offers not only an analysis of the economic factors that powered the investment in and building of country houses and estates from the early Renaissance times onwards, but also analyses the ideology and the architectural and literary models that promoted the Florentine villa.
