A Cultural Symbiosis
The history of the Florentine patriciate did not end with the establishment of the Medici Duchy and Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

A Cultural Symbiosis highlights the contributions to Florentine art and culture of eight patricians, focusing on the Valori, Pucci, Ridolfi, Vecchietti, del Nero, Salviati, Guicciardini, and Niccolini families.
