Last month, I was in Florence (Firenze) in Italy. Of course, I visited lots of bookshops
in the centre of the town. There a lovely small book caught my eye. It was a children's
book about Lorenzo the Magnificent one of the famous de Medici rulers.
Lorenzo the Magnificent is written by Michèle Fantoli, the illustrations
were made by Marta Manetti.
The book combined my love for history and my love for reading. Lorenzo the
Magnificent is meant for those who want to know more about him, his
family and their palaces.
Lorenzo the Magnificent catapults you back to beautiful, sunny Florence
and its fantastic history.
Did I say earlier that in addition to an interesting history, the drawings
are beautifully drawn?
Without any doubt, I recommend Lorenzo the Magnificent to school age
children. However, it's a perfect book for anyone who is interested in
(royal) history.
