ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Three love stories linked across time by the works of Sandro Botticelli and a secret that could change everything.
A passionate portrait of Renaissance Florence and one of history’s most powerful families: the Medicis.
Florence, 1510. On his deathbed, the great master Sandro Botticelli asks his confessor to deliver a message and unreleased painting to the son of his muse, the lovely Simonetta Vespucci. But the priest breaks his promise, and the painting never reaches its recipient.
Barcelona, 2023. Carla, a young art restorer, is offered a job as assistant curator of a Botticelli exhibit at the Uffizi Gallery. Still reeling from a failed romance, she decides to accept the position in Florence, where her maternal grandmother was born. There she meets a distinguished Italian count who involves her in the search for the lost painting. As she works to uncover the centuries-old secret, the adventure becomes one of self-discovery as well.
Passion, mystery and a fascination with beauty combine in this stunning literary debut that brings to life one of the most sublime moments in the history of art.
