Summary

Italian description: Gli autori affrontano con dotte citazioni e ricostruzioni storiche le tematiche degli orologi solari, delle meridiane a camera oscura e del tempo civile e tempo vero. In specifico entrano nel merito degli orologi solari antichi a Firenze, con particolare attenzione per il Battistero e per la lastra intarsiata sul pavimento, forse anticamente usata per osservare il moto del sole. Il libro rende giustizia a questi antichi misuratori del tempo spesso tralasciati da storici, cronisti e guide turistiche. Lo fa proponendo un itinerario alla scoperta dei piu significativi siti gnomonici, con un approccio in cui le note tecniche, le notizie storiche e architettoniche si integrano in una sintesi mirata al superamento dell'interesse dei soli appassionati di settore, per coinvolgere anche altri lettori e guidarli alla scoperta di questi misteriosi e affascinanti strumenti astronomici incastonati nel tessuto storico e artistico della citta.
