An imaginary itinerary that touches the principal monuments in Florence and its surrounding areas. The intention is to analyse the restorations that have ?“upset?” the city during the past century and a half. Through the more than 300 pictures that accompany the text, Dezzi Bardeschi illustrates the city and its monuments before and after their 19th /20th- century restorations, making Ruskin?’s thought - ?“restoration is the worst form of destruction, accompanied by a false description of the thing destroyed?” - his own.
