Florence: A Delicate Case

The story flows through the present and past. First, a recounting of the wealthy English that chose to take refuge in Florence in the late 19th century, some of them running away from the Labouchere Amendment, a law put in place to prosecute homosexuals easily. Florence stayed a refuge for expatriates until World War II, with the English recreating England in Italy. A chapter on the moving of the statue of David and one on the fate of the bridges over the Arno during the same war. Interesting facts, all very well documented. A reading that opens on others.
