The Art of the City: Rome, Florence, Venice

Georg Simmel was a brilliant, groundbreaking thinker, whose wide-ranging lectures held audiences spellbound in turn-of-the-century Berlin and throughout Europe. The theories of this maverick `wandering-priest`, left their mark on a whole generation of philosophers, poets and sociologists including Benjamin, Heidegger and Rilke.The quartet of essays contained in this book includes dazzling portraits of Italy`s iconic cities of art and history, Rome, Florence and Venice, as well as Simmel`s hugely influential `The Metropolis and the Life of the Spirit`, one of the most important analyses of urban life and the alienation of the individual ever written.
