To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE PALAZZO VECCHIO 175 wanted to come and argue with the Government they should get out of breath on the stairs and, by the time they reached the top, be quite incapable of ventilating their grievances. But now everything is changed, and there is a doctor^ at the head of aflfairs who has all sorts of elixirs and precious dis- tillations always at hand. Whenever he applies these medicaments to the noses of Senators or Magistrates they straightway make a bolt for the street, and so the stairs ha...ve been made pkasing and easy of descent in order to assist their exit." Giorgio never ceased to regard this staircase as one of his masterpieces. In his opinion, perhaps, it was only surpassed by the great chamber to which it led the way, and of which the artist has left several accounts. In the Autobiography he relates how Cosimo resolved to heighten the roof and decorate the walls and ceiling, " a most stupendous and im- portant work, and one that might weU have been beyond my abilities, though it certainly was not beyond my ambition.
