Palazzo Vecchio [English edition]

Palazzo Vecchio is a volume portraying the architecture of the historic Florentine palace immortalized by internationally renowned photographer Massimo Listri. The first comprehensive and organic photographic documentation of the building, updated in the wake of recent restoration and re-functionalization work, the sequence of images traverses the palace's exterior and interior spaces page after page.The alternation of halls, courtyards, and museum spaces, enriched by countless pictorial and sculptural elements, gives life, in Listri's gaze, to a faithfully objective overview of the building that, since the end of the thirteenth century, has constituted the heart of Florence's civic and political life, still a place for meetings, debate, and dialogue. The volume, edited by Sergio Risaliti, offers short essays by experts on the subject such as Serena Pini and Carlo Francini, with a contribution by Mayor Dario Nardella.
