A detailed street plan of central Florence showing the city as it was between 1865 & 1871, the period during which it served as capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Drawn by Edizioni Multigraphic using information from various historical sources including the city’s official archives, the map presents the famous landmarks as government buildings, e.g. Palazzo Pitti as the Royal Palace & Palazzo Vecchio as the Parliament. It is interesting to notice the central railway station “ Santa Maria Novella”, which here appears in its original shape before the enlargement of the 1930s; the Art secondary school of Porta Romana is still used as Royal Stables, etc. The map also shows the new tree-lined avenues: this was the most visible change to the city structure, since the old city walls were knocked down & replaced with the avenues. Over 80 locations are cross-referenced to the accompanying list of public buildings, & the map also provides historical notes which include a list of ministerial office holders during the city’s tenure as the capital of Italy. Map legend & all the text are in English. ...

Florentine is a collection of recipes & photographs from Tuscany`s capital. Emiko Davies draws on her lived experience of traditional Florentine cuisine to share recipes that transport readers to the piazzas of Florence. From her torta di mele
- a reassuringly nonna-esque apple cake
- to ravioli pera e ricotta
- mouthwateringly buttery pear & ricotta ravioloni
- allow yourself to be taken on a culinary tour through the city. Florentine is a unique stroll through the city`s streets, past pastry shops bustling with espresso-sippers, hole-in-the-wall wine bars, busy food vans & lunchtime trattorias, to reveal why the people of Florence remain proudly attached to their unchanging cuisine
- a cuisine that tells the unique story of its city, dish by dish. From the morning ritual of la pasticceria (the pastry shop) & il forno (the bakery), the tantalising fresh produce of il mercato (the market) & il maccellaio (the butcher) through to the romance of la trattoria, Davies expertly guides food lovers through the Renaissance city. Be swept up in the atmosphere of Florence`s street food scene with a few bites of crunchy crostini with fig compote & prosciutto, or savour a silky gelato of hazelnut & crema. With a nod to Florence`s rich history, Florentine offers some much-loved traditional dishes, such as schiacciata fiorentina (orange & vanilla cake), apricot jam crostata (apricot jam pie), piselli alla fiorentina (peas cooked in tomato sauce) & cinghiale con le olive (stewed wild boar with olives). Seasons & long-held food traditions play an important role in the Tuscan kitchen & this is reflected in every Florentine menu, bakery window or market stall. Davies says that one of the things living in Tuscany has taught her is that there is no such thing as Italian cuisine; rather, Florentine is about offering readers a local`s perspective on one of the country`s 20 regional cuisines. In this case, the one that has won her heart.
