subject date: 2013-01-29

caption: FLORENCE its destruction by Totila (516? -? July 552) king of the Ostrogoths or, as reported by other sources, by Attila (406 - 16 March 453) king of the Huns. This story by Villani which quotes Totila but recounting the time of Attila by treating facts and characters in a mixture of events referable to one or the other king, probably refers to the echo perceived by the popular narrative of a mythical barbarian assault on the city. . Facsimile print of a miniature from the 'Chronicles figurate', by G. Villani, 14th century
