(by Roberta Orsi Landini & Bruna Niccoli) Fantastico! The story of Eleanora di Toledo, wife of Cosimo de Medici, as told through her wardrobe. Words fail me when I try to describe this book. Beautiful portraits of Eleanora and her contemporaries illustrate the discussion of changing styles. Details from the paintings compare hairstyles, embellishments, partlets, in the years covered. there is an appendix compiled from the inventory of clothing which lists the garments, what materials were bought for them, the colors, the yardage, etc. A definite "must have" for your library! Hardcover, 256 pages, 120 color illustrations, 10" x 12 1/2" ISBN 8883048679
