《佛罗伦萨史》分为八卷，每卷又分为若干章。第一卷概述意大利从西罗马帝国末年到十五世纪的历史。在记述了蛮族入侵、意大利半岛分崩离析、封建主混战、雇佣军横行和城市内部的党争之后，作者不禁深深慨叹：“因此，在我写的这部历史中，必然会充满这类昏庸的君主和如此卑劣的军队。”（第一卷，第七章）第二卷以同样笔法概述了佛罗萨从建筑之初到十四世纪中叶美第奇家庭初露头角时期的历史。第两郑可以看作是全书的导言。……

The kings of Italian cuisine Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo return to Italy together to remember their own pasts and discover how the culinary capital of the world is changing the way it cooks and eats. Travelling to different Italian regions, they uncover a changed Italy in some areas and a fiercely traditional, mostly untouched world in others. In each of the four hour-long episodes, Carluccio and Contaldo will create dishes using recipes, ingredients and influences they discover along their gastronomic journey as well as some of their own favourite traditional meals. The journey is distinctly personal, drawing upon Antonio and Gennaro’s upbringing in Italy through their memories and anecdotes, whilst reflecting their sometimes fractious, often hilarious relationship.
