- The book is an easy and entertaining read. I think you will enjoy learning some interesting facts that he reveals about Botticelli even if you're super familiar with the Renaissance era.
- Yes! I love the painting. Vasari has some great paintings (great but not genius) which are unfortunately overlooked. Well, I guess he lived in a competitive era :)
- I am planning Divine Comedy read-along in January 2025! Should I add you to the list? :) (I won't be offended if you've too many books to read and don't want to!)
- I haven't read Petrarch either... mea culpa! But I read a lot about and around him lol
The read along is going to be free! There will be some deep-dive posts but 90 percent (if not 99%) of everything will be absolutely free. :) So hope to see you there :)
Wonderful! A few things. First, are you liking the Botticelli book? I saw it on your insta and thought I must get it.
Second, what a wonderful painting by Giorgio Vasari! I need to print it out and put it on my wall.
And this post makes me want to go back to the Divine Comedy... it's just so wonderful! And I still have to read Petrarch, mea culpa!

I would love to be part of the read along, but I saw It was for paid suscribers and although I would love to do it, I can't afford that.
And about the book on Botticelli, I have It now 🤭 I will let you know what I think!
