The work offers a wide picture about the most significative historical vicissitudes, about the architecture, the plastic and inlaid decoration of the most ancient churches of Florence, of its surrounding peasantry placed north of the Arno, embracing the pivieri Florentine "pivieri" up to Bisenzio, Monte Morello, Monte Senario and the course of the Sieve, comprising also Fiesole and its "Isle".
The first Christian buildings and the territory are presented via a structure that is made up of three essential parts.
First comes an historical and religious introduction of Florence, Fiesole, the peasantry, followed by the description of the complex architectonic and decorative characteristics of that times.
A serious attempt is made in order to to make light on some aspects of the "Florentine Romanic" that are still without answer.
An accurate description of the filed buildings concludes the book. Seventy-six beautiful churches are described in full details: some of these churches where never desrcibed before.
Many short, but accurate, description about buildings dating back up to1250, and than do not conserve any trace of the original structure or even are no more visible are presented too.
