The Tuscan Genius
Sara Passi
Tuscany is celebrated worldwide for its enchanting landscapes and immense artistic heritage. It was also home to extraordinary men that left an indelible trace in history. Scholars, painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, scientists... formidable dreamers that inspired the future generations with their revolutionary ideas. In one word: geniuses. The author uses a simple and compelling style to tell us about the experiences of ten of the most brilliant minds who lived in Tuscany between the 14th and 16th centuries - a period that witnessed the blossoming of Humanism and the Renaissance, a time when there were more geniuses in Tuscany than anywhere else in the world. Illustrations by Marco Milanesi.
