Waldemar's new book, the Memorial of Many Paintings and Statues in the Illustrious City of Florence by Francesco Albertini (1510), is now available (visit the online bookshop).

Published six years after the installation of Michelangelo's David at Piazza della Signoria, Albertini's booklet is the earliest systematic description of the city's artistic treasures and can be considered the prototype for all successive guidebooks to Florence. The present annotated and fully illustrated edition of the Memorial enables the reader to become familiar with the extraordinary wealth of masterpieces Florence could boast in 1510, many of which have long since been dispersed.

The publication is also available in Italian.
