Capitelli a foglie nella Firenze del Due e Trecento
«Fogliame rustico e barbaro»

For the first time these capitals have been examined as significant works of art in their own right and not just as an indication of the chronology of single buildings. The various schemes according to which decoration spreads over the capital and the plant motifs used are also illustrated; the origin and development of each one is reconstructed, the nomenclature is stated and, when possible, the opinion of the contemporaries is recovered.
