What is The Great Flood of Florence, 1966: A Photographic Essay (The Villa Rossa) about?

On November 4, 1966, Florence experienced the most devastating flood of its entire history, which crippled the city and destroyed many of the worlds art treasures. On that day, Swietlan Nicholas Kraczyna, a twenty-six-year-old American artist living in Florence, went out into the flooded streets and photographed the dramatic unfolding events. Kraczyna was awarded the Fiorino dOrothe highest honor of the City of Florencefor ten of those photographs. This book presents, for the first time, a selection of eighty-four of Kraczynas flood photographs, taken on that tragic day and in the days that followed, as the city tried to deal with the immense disaster.
