The alternation of rooms, courtyards, and museum spaces, enriched by countless pictorial and sculptural elements, gives life, in Listri's gaze, to a faithfully objective overview of the building that, since the end of the 13th century, has constituted the heart of Florence's civic and political life, still a place of meeting, debate, and dialogue.

The volume, edited by Sergio Risaliti, features short essays by experts and scholars such as Vittorio Sgarbi, Serena Pini and Carlo Francini, with a contribution by Mayor Dario Nardella. "A photographic viaticum of rare beauty, high definition optical quality. A journey steeped in awe and admiration for the whole and the individual parts, for magnificence in the large and the small. With the publication of this volume we do a service of artistic civilization to the history and future of our city and our country," Dario Nardella.

"Unbelievable stories, not a book, but an encyclopedia, indeed a database rich to the brim with documents, memories, memoirs, facts, anecdotes, a thousand and one possible narratives," added Sergio Risaliti.
