Author: ROWDON, MAURICE
Title: LORENZO THE MAGNIFICENT.
Description: London, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1974. 1st edition. Half cloth, 26cmx20cm, Fine copy. The life of the 15th century Lorenzo de Medici in Florence. With maps, 133 illustrations (16 in color), bibliography and index. Important book about Florence. Maurice Rowdon's (1922 - 2009) love of Italy manifested itself in a series of travel and history books written while he was living in Rome (where he appeared as an extra in several Fellini films). Of the 12 books published in his lifetime, the travel books were the most popular and critically acclaimed. His books on Venice and Italy, including 'A Roman Street' (1964), 'Lorenzo the Magnificent' (1974) and 'The Fall of Venice' (1970), were so highly regarded that he was invited to become an Italian citizen - an honour he declined. 237 pag.
