Description for The Memoir of Marco Parenti: A Life in Medici Florence
Hardback. Num Pages: 300 pages. BIC Classification: PS. Dimension: 229 x 152. Weight in Grams: 21000.
For this vivid description of the world of a Florentine patrician, Mark Phillips draws on Marco Parenti's private letters, ricordanze or diaries, and public history or memoir.
