1478: Gianetta and Matteo have a happy life, working in service to the wealthy
Rosini family. They are used to entertaining rich and powerful members of
Florentine society in Palazzo Rosini, where Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici
and Botticelli are regular visitors. Even when the Medici brothers narrowly
escape the Palazzo with their lives (an accident, surely?), Gianetta and Matteo
can't imagine that the growing unrest in the streets of Florence would ever
spoil their happiness.
When a bloody conspiracy erupts in the heart of Florence, in the city's
beloved Duomo, nobody is left unaffected by the aftermath. When the family
hear that Matteo is among the conspirators, Gianetta knows that her life will
never be the same.
