Tuscany is celebrated worldwide for its enchanting
landscapes and immense artistic heritage. It was also home to extraordinary men
that left an indelible trace in history. Scholars, painters, sculptors,
architects, engineers, scientists… formidable dreamers that inspired the future
generations with their revolutionary ideas. In one word: geniuses.
The author uses a simple and compelling style to tell us about the experiences
of ten of the most brilliant minds who lived in Tuscany between the 14th and 16th
centuries – a period that witnessed the blossoming of Humanism and the
Renaissance, a time when there were more geniuses in Tuscany than anywhere else
in the world.
La Toscana è famosa per i paesaggi incantevoli e gli
infiniti tesori artistici. Ma questa terra è stata anche la patria di uomini
straordinari, capaci di lasciare una traccia indelebile nella storia.
Letterati, pittori, scultori, architetti, ingegneri, scienziati… grandi sognatori
in grado di ispirare le future generazioni con le loro idee rivoluzionarie. In
una parola: geni.
L’autrice ci racconta, con uno stile semplice e avvincente, le vite di dieci
tra le più grandi menti vissute fra il 1300 e il 1500, i secoli dell’Umanesimo
e del Rinascimento, un’epoca in cui in Toscana si sono concentrati più geni che
in qualunque parte del mondo.
