Amidst florence’s original treasures lie deceptive replicas and camouflaged artefacts, peacefully coexisting alongside their authentic counterparts. focusing on florence’s obsession with its own reproduction through painstakingly accurate counterfeits among contextual disarray, postcards from florence flexes the seductive nature of deception to question the myth of the city’s unspoiled authenticity.
