Here, in the lavishly illustrated A Seasoti of Cianls, is the engrossing story of the three geniuses of the Italian Renaissance. The time is 1492 to 1508, the places are Florence, "city of the flower," and Romé, always the imperial domain. Political turmoil and reli-gious strife are rampant throughout Europe.
