“I’ve spent hours in Florentine church buildings, fully enthralled by their magnificence,” she mentioned. She was given excursions of museums and personal palazzos; the normally somewhat snobbish Florence opened its doorways to La Martin, and he or she reciprocated, making a fall assortment completely impressed by the luminous pulchritude of its Renaissance.
