Palazzo Vecchio is a volume published by Forma Edizioni that depicts the architecture of the historic Florentine palace immortalized by internationally renowned photographer Massimo Listri.
A unique photographic narrative that brings together a rich selection of ambient shots and detail focuses of the building's magnificent halls; the result is a well-rounded portrait of the architecture of the historic palace and the personalities who have passed through its rooms.
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.
