Florence

[coccinelle]

I'm looking for novels set in Florence (a bit like Donna Leon's books which are set in Venice) does anybody know of any?

There's a whole site devoted to novels set in Florence :)

Crime too .If you like Donna Leon try Magdalen Nabb .Marshal Guarnaccia a Florentine version of Brunetti . Sadly she died a couple of years ago but her books are brilliant .

Thank you everybody. I think I'll go for the Magdalen Nabb books, they look quite good.

The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunart is excellent.
