Visitors to Florence from the Grand Tour to modern travel left influential writing shaping Anglo-American fascination with art, culture, and power.

From the heyday of the Grand Tour to the arrival of railways and air travel writers have been drawn to Florence, a beautiful city with a unique history of art, culture and cruelty, the home of Leonardo da Vinci and Machiavelli. In recording their experiences they have left a wealth of writing which is explored in this book. This fascinating account of visitors to Florence focuses above all on the Anglo-American love affair with this extraordinary city...' (Edward Chaney, author of Florence: a Traveller's Reader (2018)) 'Florence itself is incomparable, and the distin-guished visitors who have drawn inspiration here have added layers of enjoyment to the modern traveller's experience of its streets and monuments. Florence has Won my Heart is a delightful vademecum for anyone who wants to understand how and why the city has enchanted the world for centuries.' (Jonathan Galassi, Chairman and Executive Editor, Farrar Strauss & Giroux.)
