Description from the seller
Historical Lot "The Salotto Rosso" of Florence (1874–1880) – Ubaldino Peruzzi & Emilia Toscanelli.
A fascinating ensemble of 7 historical documents (4 letters and 3 autograph visiting cards) centered around Giulio Franco, a Florentine intellectual and editor of the economic journal L'Economista, and the famous political and literary salon of the Peruzzi couple: the legendary "Salotto Rosso" (Red Salon), the beating heart of 19th-century Italian cultural and political life.
The lot includes:
1 Official letter signed by the Mayor of Florence, Ubaldino Peruzzi, November 11, 1874: Written on official letterhead ("Municipio di Firenze - Gabinetto Particolare del Sindaco"). Peruzzi (1822–1891), a prominent Minister of the Kingdom of Italy and Mayor of Florence, gratefully accepts his election as President of the newly founded "Società Adamo Smith", an association dedicated to free-market economic liberalism.
2 Autograph letter signed by Emilia Peruzzi (née Toscanelli), March 13, 1876: Written on her personal monogrammed stationery ("EP"). She cordially invites Mr. Franco to an intimate dinner with her and her husband.
3 Autograph letter signed by Emilia Peruzzi (née Toscanelli), n.d.: A short, lively note reminding Mr. Franco not to miss a private theatrical play being performed at their palace the following evening ("si recita in casa nostra").
4 Autograph visiting card of Ubaldino Peruzzi: With the handwritten note "Grazie!" (Thank you!).
5 Visiting card of Emilia Peruzzi: With a handwritten note in French regretting missing her visitor ("Mille regrets de ne pas vous avoir trouvé, je reviendrai").
A splendid lot for collectors of the Italian Risorgimento, Tuscan history, and the golden age of European literary salons.
