The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence A Story of Botticelli Alyssa Palombo Books

Loved this beautifully written book and lush detail of the life of Botticelli and his muse. Filled with longing and romance, there was a perfect tension described between the various aspects of Simonetta and Sandro's life together and apart.

A piece of history which I knew nothing about, but now want to travel to Florence to see 'The Birth of Venus' at the Uffizi Gallery and visit Botticelli and Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci grave at Ognissanti.

Highly recommend read if you enjoy history, romance, solid character development and a wonderful story that will leave you thinking of these two lovers long after the last page is finished.

The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence A Story of Botticelli Alyssa Palombo Books Reviews

Interesting character and good historic backdrop...some forced descriptions of actions...hard to understand why heroine immediately fell for Botticelli.
I like historical fiction. This started off well but begin to fall off like there was a hurry to end it.
Reading reviews before I purchased this, I expected a far more comprehensive historical background. The constant emphasis on Simonetta's beauty wss superfluous and irritating. Just a fairly superficial love story.
I really enjoyed The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence. The writing is very poetic and descriptive without being boring. Simonetta's character is well written. This novel has a nice balance of Drama and Romance. Great summer read. I am definitely looking forward to reading Palambo's other novel.

If you are a historical fiction fan like me, I strongly suggest giving this novel a read!
This book was entertaining, especially when on vacation in Florence, as I was when I started. You can see the Medici homes and works in the uffizi that are just as the author describes. Unfortunately, I feel like the characters lacked depth (maybe because they are based on limited knowledge about the real people?), and the plot pretty simplistic. This made the book less compelling than it could have been.
As an Art History major, I always enjoy books about art and artists. And I love historical fiction. This was a pleasant and fast read, but by no means great. The characters and descriptions are not deeply developed, but it is nice way to spend rainy day
I have always loved the works of Botticelli, and have seen the famous painting of the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi. I was not prepared, however, for the way that Alyssa yanked me into her story and kept me there, so smitten was I that I stayed up far too late in the night to find out what happened to the beautiful Simonetta and her love, Sandro. I will never again be able to look at a Botticelli and not think of this novel. The characters are masterfully wrought, the setting of Florence bright and visual, and the love story is one that will warm your heart
