Legends of Florence

This book consists almost entirely of legends or traditions of a varied character, referring to places and buildings in Florence, such as the Cathedral and Campanile, the Signoria, the Bargello, the different city gates, ancient towers and bridges, palaces, crosses, and fountains, noted corners, odd byways, and many churches. To all of these there are tales, or at least anecdotes attached for both readers and students of social history.
