WEBINAR RECORDING | “Hidden Florence“
Presented by Dr. Fabrizio Nevola
With Additional Commentary by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

In this exclusive webinar, Dr. Fabrizio Nevola presents a number of illustrated vignettes of street life in the Renaissance city that inform his award-winning Hidden Florence app’s many stories – from pub brawls to football games, charitable gift-giving to elite patronage. In so doing he shows how material traces of the past still visible – but often overlooked – in the present day city fabric, offer clues to how people lived in the past in this remarkable city. Dr. Fabrizio is author of Street life in Renaissance Italy (Yale University Press, 2020), and this work underpins the content of the app.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
