      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>Bonaccorso Pitti (1354-1432) was a merchant, politician and ambassador, entrusted by the Republic of Florence with difficult missions to the kings of France and the emperor. He has long been the object of fascination for Italian and foreign scholars. Seduced by his multifaceted, passionate and often self-centred personality, many of them saw Bonaccorso as a precursor, among others, of Benvenuto Cellini and Casanova. His gambling skills, for example, or the autobiographical drive animating many of his pages have been therefore emphasized, at the expense of a global reading of both Bonaccorso’s Ricordi and his personality. It is precisely with the desire to invite readers to an integral and duly contextualized reflection that Firenze University Press has entrusted Veronica Vestri with a new edition of this famous 'family book', with a brief introduction by Stefano U. Baldassarri. The two of them place the book within the genre it belongs to, thus highlighting its motifs and purposes, both characterized by the prudent and tenacious concreteness which is typical of Florence’s Renaissance.</p>

      <abstract xml:lang="it">
        <p>Mercante, uomo politico e ambasciatore cui la Repubblica di Firenze affidò difficili missioni presso i re di Francia e l’imperatore, Bonaccorso Pitti (1354-1432) ha a lungo affascinato studiosi sia italiani sia stranieri. Sedotti dalla sua poliedrica, passionale e spesso egocentrica personalità, molti fra loro hanno visto in Bonaccorso un precursore – fra gli altri – di Benvenuto Cellini e Casanova. La sua abilità nel gioco d’azzardo, ad esempio, o la spinta autobiografica che anima molte delle sue pagine sono state così enfatizzate a scapito di una lettura globale sia dei Ricordi sia del carattere di Bonaccorso. È appunto per invitare i lettori a una riflessione integrale e debitamente contestualizzata che Firenze University Press ha affidato a Veronica Vestri una nuova edizione di questo celebre ‘libro di famiglia’, introdotto da alcune pagine di Stefano U. Baldassarri che lo collocano all’interno del genere cui esso appartiene, mettendone così in risalto motivi e finalità, entrambi caratterizzati da quella prudente e tenace concretezza tipica del Rinascimento fiorentino.</p>
