Amerigo understood!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How Florence Invented America: Vespucci, Verrazzano, & Mazzei and Their Contribution to the Conception of the New World (Paperback)
This book brought Amerigo to life in his times. It was especially rich in its depictions of politics, comradery with Columbus and the the depth of his bigger view.

THE THREE BALORDI,
By Lucaziz Lombardo (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How Florence Invented America: Vespucci, Verrazzano, & Mazzei and Their Contribution to the Conception of the New World (Paperback)
Absolutely, the most interesting book ever written about three Florentines who have given big contribution to the discovery and development of the New World. I have met both authors, I have asked to the young Iacopo Gori, more than once, which of the three characters described in the book have captured the most his interest, while writing. Well, the answer I got was always some how different and interesting. The reason is in the book, which is well written and it is easy and pleasant to read also for non historians. You do not get annoyed, but fascinated with all the events, travelling on the boat with Amerigo Vespucci and Giovanni da Verrazzano or in the mind of Filippo Mazzei and most of all in the mind of Iacopo Gori. Recommended for all, left or right oriented.
