About the book >.>.> In representing the Florence Museums and the territorial protection of Florence’s artistic her- itage it has been my great pleasure to follow every stage of the planning of this exhibition within the Board of Administration of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi. It is an exhibition that presents the Renaissance in Florence and elsewhere under an in- novative profile. While in-depth studies on the complex relationships linking money to power religion and culture belong to a specialized bibliography-dealing mainly with architecture the arts and book collecting the communicational potential of a great exhibition has until now been denied them. At last through a group of exceptionally well-chosen masterpieces the curators Ludovica Sebregondi and Tim Parks are offering visitors full immersion in the many-faceted scenario of 14th-15th-century Florence where excellence reached unparalleled heights in a unique con- junction of circumstances: vast wealth acquired and spent magnanimous public commissions splendid private patronage the flourishing of the arts and a wave of reform sweeping through Christianity.
