Historian Hugh Trevor-Roper and art critic Bernard Berenson met in 1947 (the year that Trevor-Roper's most famous work [[The Last Days of Hitler]] was published) and there was an immediate rapport between the two. The meeting took place at Berenson's Florentine villa, I Tatti, and it was to be the start of a correspondence that continued until Berenson's death in 1959. Despite a difference in ages of nearly half a century this was a profound and moving friendship by two people pre-eminent in their professions.
