Everyone knows Pinocchio, but few know his story. Not the one about how he was transformed from a block of wood into a little boy after an adventure or two, but of his creation by the Florentine journalist Carlo Lorenzini. Under the pen name of Collodi, Lorenzini wrote the future masterpiece in installments for a local children's review between 1881 and 1883. Young and old alike can now discover the original Pinocchio, reedited as it appeared with its simple original illustrations, and rediscover the story that has delighted generations. Italian text.

Artusi Luciano Artusi Ricciardo

Family recipes that have been handed down through the generations are a priceless heritage. This is particularly true in Tuscany, where the tradition of good home-made cuisine is so strong that family recipes are still used even in restaurants and trattorie . The beauty of home-made recipes is that they always add something more to the standard preparation: a touch of imagination, an inspired variant, a brilliant touch that makes a good dish even better. And so Fabrizio Baroni, a physicist with a penchant for gastronomy, decided to transcribe the recipes of his grandmother Giovannina, and has brought them together in this book which, among its other merits, has the virtue of simplicity. Indeed, since essentiality and humble thrift are innate to Tuscan cooking, it is fitting that the recipes too should be explained in a short and simple manner, rather than being long-winded and wordy. It is the same approach used by the great Pellegrino Artusi in his time: immediately comprehensible to all. Tuscan tradition combined with Granny Giovannina's superb ideas have served us up over a hundred mouth-watering recipes! 1st edition: July 2012 1st reprint: January 2013 1st English edition: September 2013

Tuscany is celebrated worldwide for its enchanting landscapes and immense artistic heritage. It was also home to extraordinary men that left an indelible trace in history. Scholars, painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, scientists... formidable dreamers that inspired the future generations with their revolutionary ideas. In one word: geniuses. The author uses a simple and compelling style to tell us about the experiences of ten of the most brilliant minds who lived in Tuscany between the 14th and 16th centuries - a period that witnessed the blossoming of Humanism and the Renaissance, a time when there were more geniuses in Tuscany than anywhere else in the world.

History & Criticism

Sixty-three original frames, most previously unpublished, from the Palatine Gallery, the Museo degli Argenti in Pitti Palace, the Uffizi Gallery and Villa Poggio a Caiano are described in this volume. All were commissioned by the Medici from the 16th century onwards for paintings, as they entered their collections. Invented by masters such as Ammannati and Buontalenti, the decorative motifs of Mannerism were combined to form the lobate style. With the evolution of the baroque frame, however, Buontalenti's volutes were transformed into scrolls and cartouches flanked by details, prevalently zoomorphic in appearance, inspired by the drawings of artists such as Callot and Stefano della Bella, whose fantastical sketches also illustrate this volume. In addition to many famous artists who designed frames, including Volterrano and Foggini, new attributions (to Pietro da Cortona and Ciro Ferri) and new names of carvers, including Antonio Mancini, Luca Boncinelli, Jacopo Sani, and Carlo Galestruzzi, were discovered in the course of this detailed study carried out in the State Archive of Florence. This volume is a stimulating and useful contribution not only for art historians but also for those interested in the history of the Medici collections and the development of museums in Italy from the 16th to 18th centuries.
