Nearly every gate, tower, bridge, palace and street corner of Florence has a story attached, and Leland set out to collect them from the people who still told them. The tales range from the three horns of Messer Guicciardini and the pills of the Medici to the egg-woman of the Mercato Vecchio, the lanterns of the Strozzi palace and a goblin in the Via del Corno.
