About this book
Florence and Northern Tuscany with Genoa is by Edward Hutton. The contents list chapters on Genoa, Porto Venere, Sarzana and Luna, Carrara, Pisa and Livorno. The text tells how the Adorni, fearing to be beaten, sold the city to Charles VI of France.
The text says that the supremacy of the seas passed from Genoa to Venice, peace coming at last in 1381. The text names the Piazza of S. Maria Novella, where you find a Dominican convent, and Or San Michele, built by the merchants, the Church of the Guilds of the city. A story names Messer Antonio, who in his heart designed Castruccio for a priest, and Dianora, who looked to the child as carefully as if he had been her own.
