Last year I was recommended a book by a customer, Brunelleschi's Dome: The Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence. This compelling story of engineering genius introduced me to the wonderful world of author Ross King and I am delighted he has agreed to join our program at the end of this month.
Ross will be talking to us about his latest book The Shortest History of Italy - covering 3,000 years of Italian history and culture from Ancient Rome to COVID-19, it has been praised as a ‘miracle of compression’, a ‘densely packed volume of tantalizing details’, and ‘a splendid companion to a holiday in the bel paese’.
