Some 20th Century Literary Visitors to Florence

[@robertelwes7854]

A great lecture amongst the best for keeping students awake and new writers inspired by Florentine social circles long since lost in the fog of Facebook rather than books. So many dinner parties in England nowadays lack the panache and style due to the constant fiddling with phones rather than fuddling with witty repartee. It has certainly inspired me to return if only for those copious crystal decanters of ruby reds and passionate pleas to speak about the roaring eighties in London. I recall a dinner in a Castello at the age of consent being informed that Florence was the world of frivolous sexual freedoms. Grand Tour diaries would be amusing to relate to from the 18th Century as so many young men have lost their boarding school virginity to Florentine lovers over times past and doubtless times present. Very inspirational. Thank you. Robert Elwes.
