About

Joseph Luzzi, award-winning scholar of Italian culture and professor at Bard College, discusses The Innocents of Florence: The Renaissance Discovery of Childhood, the story of how, beginning in 1445, a Florentine orphanage cared for nearly 400,000 young lives over the next five centuries, revolutionizing childhood education and pediatrics amid the splendor of Renaissance art.
