Background resources for all levels of interest

The final program of our 25th Anniversary Season, The Florence of the Medici, is coming up in just ten days (April 30-May 1).  In addition to the formal program at Herbst Theatre, there are a number of related events that are open to the public at little or no cost.  See our web site or our Facebook page for full details.

For those who would like to do some additional background research about the topic, we have identified a range of resources for every level of interest.  If you just want to spend a few minutes refreshing your memory about the historical context of Renaissance Florence, we have prepared a one-page overview.  Ticket-holders may also request a copy of a Sourcebook or reader that contains extracts from a variety of sources (the limited distribution is to ensure compliance with copyright restrictions).  For those with a little more time, there is the Short Resource List of material aimed at a general audience in a wide variety of formats.  Finally, there is a more extensive bibliography that includes many scholarly works as well as specialized web sites.

If you make use of any of these resources, please give us some feedback on what you find most useful and what changes you would suggest for future programs.
