Doorbells of Florence

This is a charming collection of short stories set beside photographs of doorbell panels in Florence, Italy. The stories are whimsical, quirky, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and often beautifully poignant. The author, a British journalist who lives in various cities around Europe, took the photos on a visit to Florence and wrote fictional musings on who lives at each of these residences, what happens behind these walls, or why a particular buzzer appears as it does. A lovely collection of stories beautifully illustrated with photographs of Florence.
