Among his books on these themes, translated into many languages: Florence. Historical artistic itinerary in the city of humanism, 1987; Filippo Lippi, 1988; Florence.

Fra Filippo Lippi was an eccentric artist, whose behaviour was disreputable and dishonoured the monk's habit that he had worn ever since he was little more than a child. Lippi quarrelled with clients and workshop assistants, was constantly in trouble for being late in delivering his paintings, and was threatened with excommunication several times. Gloria Fossi examines the life of this controversial figure, citing the opinions of his contemporaries and patrons, such as Cosimo de'Medici. The critical appraisal of Fra Filippo is discussed at length, followed by an examination of his works, including his great fresco cycles in Prato and Spoleto, and the influence on his work of Flemish art.

Zachycení malířova života v obrazech a fotografiích. Kunsthistorička Gloria Fossi společně s dvojicí fotografů probádala fyzická i duševní zákoutí, jež inspirovala nejpozoruhodnější umělecká díla Vincenta van Gogha. Zatímco Gloria líčí Vincentovu osobní i uměleckou cestu životem, fotografie Maria Dondera a Danila De Marca vdechují jeho minulosti nový život. Tato cesta po stopách Van Gogha sleduje jeho skutečné kroky po všech zemích, kde kdy žil. Umožňuje nám tak nahlédnout lépe než kdy dříve, kým byl ve skutečnosti Vincent van Gogh jako člověk.

"Rastlos und von innerer Zerrissenheit getrieben, blieb Vincent van Gogh selten länger als ein paar Wochen oder Monate an demselben Ort. Wo er auch wirkte und lebte, hielt er stets die Stimmung in seinen Bildern fast. Gloria Fossi und die Fotografen Danilo De Marco und Mario Dondero präsentieren in diesem Band eine außergewöhnliche Zeitreise zu diesen Schauplätzen von van Goghs Leben. Mehr als 200 Abbildungen zeigen die markanten Stationen, die längst Eingang in die Kunstgeschichte gefunden haben: den Strand von Scheveningen, die Mühlen vom Montmartre und das gelbe Haus in Arles.Die Gegenüberstellung von Kunst und Wirklichkeit, von Fotografie und Malerei wirft ein neues Licht auf die Ikonen der Moderne. Aufschlussreiche Specials und Auszüge aus den Briefen an den Bruder Theo gewähren EInblick in Biografie und Gedankenwelt des genialen Niederländers."
