After completing this work in 1687, he dedicated it to Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany, the son of Cosimo III. The first printed and annotated edition of his book was presented last October in Spain by a group of scholars of the University of Extremadura, at Badajoz. The authors also used some pictures from our blog, with our permission. They were also so kind to send us a fresh copy of this wonderful book.

Well deserved credit, VP.
It must be satisfying to have your photos included in a scholarly book. Congratulations.
Very good of them to do!
Amazing artwork.
Oh, finally some honest people and a reward for your fine photos! Enjoy the book.
The drawing is so nice.
Good post VP.
Love this cover print.
Next time I'm in Livorno, I'd like to leaf through it. And finally someone who asks for your permission and thanks you elegantly!
Interesting history for sure.
I'm the editor of the book. I've always thought that it's a question of honestity. It's a non-commercial book and VP had very good photos that we want to include in the book. We thought that at least we should ask him for permission and obviously send him a copy.
By the way, in the book we give many many interesting facts about Livorno in the XVIIth century.
Best regards to everybody. Carlos
