Book Overview

""A Wanderer in Florence"" is a travelogue written by E. V. Lucas about his experiences and observations during his visit to Florence, Italy. The book is a collection of his musings on the city's art, architecture, history, and culture. Lucas takes the reader on a journey through the city's streets, visiting various landmarks, museums, and galleries. He also shares his encounters with the locals and their way of life, providing a glimpse into the everyday life of the city. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of the city's sights, sounds, and smells, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Florence's rich history and cultural heritage.Passing along the Via Calzaioli we come on the right to a noble square building with statues in its niches--Or San Michele, which stands on the site of the chapel of San Michele in Orto. San Michele in Orto, or more probably in Horreo (meaning either in the garden or in the granary), was once part of a loggia used as a corn market, in which was preserved a picture by Ugolino da Siena representing the Virgin, and this picture had the power of working miracles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
