Florence Medici: Images of influence
Medici is an influential name whose representatives have repeatedly become the rulers of Florence from the 15th to the 17th century and have left a significant mark in at least every corner of Tuscany. The book aims at an inventory of the Italian region on the impact of the family. In the field of research: architecture, art, politics, economics, religion, and, of course, culture.
The publication is printed on the thin paper of Palatina in a shade of ivory. The factural side-cut is hand-made and refers to the Renaissance Books.
Photos at the corner of the magazine are printed behind each other and are located on the stripes. Semi-transpared paper allows images to cross from opposite sides of the pages, creating new images of recognized Florentine objects.
The organization of turns changes in the course of the narrative. The first part of the book uses a single column with a thin column of notes, the second part uses a two — column, and the third part uses one -, two — or three — column depending on the chapter.
Part I. Dynasty
The white turns focus on the main theme of the book, the classical art of the Renaissance era and its creators. The black turns show examples of modern artwork inspired by the work of the Medici masters.
Part II. Glory
In the second part of the book, on the history of the Medici era, the one — column of the core set is replaced by a monumental two — column.
Part III. Legacy
The final part of the book, a guide to signs related to the Medici family name, consists of four chapters corresponding to the city’s four historical areas.
In part, as in the first part of Dynasty, modern cultural projects organized in Florence Medici are shown on a black background.
