Overview
It is the mostly true story about Simonetta Vespucci. You probably know her as VENUS in "The Birth of Venus", that iconic 15th century masterpiece by Sandro Botticelli. Yes, she was his Venus, but after centuries balancing on a scallop shell and watching the world go by, Simonetta Vespucci decides that enough is enough. She longs to join the living. She yearns to walk and dance and travel and get the heck OUT of that painting. But the "escape" from her gilded incarceration is the stuff only dreams are made of, and her life can truly begin only when she has the courage to do so. Simonetta wants to experience the LIFE that was so cruelly snatched away from her over 500 years ago, just before her 23rd birthday.
Despite being adored, idolized, and thought to be the most beautiful woman in the world, Simonetta wants out. A terrifying event creates the opportunity for that to happen, but can she take it? This painting has been her home for over 500 years. People LOVE her. What will they do when she is no longer there, standing on that shell with waves splashing all around her?
How can she possibly be replaced? And yes, she is completely naked.
Time is of the essence and without giving it a second thought, she gathers her courage and steps out of the painting.
She bolts toward the doors of the Uffizi Gallery, having NO IDEA what awaits her on the other side. What is beyond is completely unknown. What will happen to her? She has no idea. The ONE thing she does know is that she wants to be ALIVE and LIVING among real people. An act of supreme courage is called for. Valiantly she faces an unknown world, and her life truly begins, once again.
