Tuscany is everyone€™s dream—a land of picturesque landscapes, fabulous food, and above all, extraordinary masterpieces of art of every kind. Focusing on a series of Tuscan centers, from the Etruscan capitals of Cerveteri and Tarquinia to the great medieval and Renaissance city-states of Lucca, Pisa, Siena, and Florence down to the present day, Marina Belozerskaya leads the reader on a journey through the arts of this astonishing part of Italy.  Unlike other books on Tuscany, this one spans time, geography, and a wide variety of art forms—from Etruscan bronzes to Ferragamo shoe Marina Belozerskaya is the author of The Medici Giraffe and Other Tales of Exotic Animals and Power , which Publisher’s Weekly called “a sumptuous read—smart, funny, and utterly compelling,” and Entertainment Weekly called “a marvelous look at the ultimate in pet projects.” Born in the Soviet Union and raised in Moscow and then Boston, Belozerskaya trained as an art historian. She lives in Los Angeles. Used Book in Good Condition
