Details: Florence, April 1478. Those were terrible days following the failure of the conspiracy hatched by the Pazzi family against the Medici. Florence is thirsty for blood, determined to punish anyone who participated in the conspiracy with torture or death. Safe in his palace, Lorenzo the Magnificent learns of the corpses thrown into the Arno, the beheadings, the lynchings. It is the whole city that avenges the assassination of his brother Giuliano and that delivers itself into his hands, making him more powerful than ever. But Lorenzo doesn't know that the threads of that conspiracy were pulled by much more influential characters than the Pazzi family. And he is unaware that he himself is a puppet in the hands of history... Florence, today. Few know Pierpaolo Masoni, a Renaissance painter with a tormented style and soul. And Ana Sotomayor, PhD student in Art History, arrived in Florence precisely to understand something more about this obscure character, who exerts a singular fascination on her. His passionate research focuses on one of Masoni's most controversial paintings, being restored in the Uffizi laboratories, and on a series of notebooks in which the painter recounts his own existence and the events that marked the history of Florence in the end of the fifteenth century, including the Pazzi conspiracy. Suddenly, however, Ana becomes the object of threats and blackmail and finds herself fearing for her life and that of those close to her.
