Assisi, 1973.
On art historian Fabiola Bennett’s first day in Assisi, a local
gentleman takes her aside to ask for advice about a painting that has
wondrously appeared in the basilica’s bell tower.
So much for enjoying relaxing days filled with dining on pasta and
gelato.
Soon, Fabiola and her besties, Pippa and Cary, are thrown into a
shrouded mystery and caught up in a whirlwind of intrigue, theft, lies, and attempted
murder, all of which overshadows the postcard-like charm of the small, historic
town.
Rome, 1511.
Life is going well for Teodoro Nicoletti. Since he was a young man in
Florence, he has worked and learned alongside the most-favored artist Raphael.
When Pope Julius II commissions Raphael to paint several frescos in the
reception rooms of the Vatican Palace, Teodoro follows his master to Rome and
discovers firsthand the admiration and rivalry between Raphael and two other
reigning artists: Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
But the prickliest thorn in Teodoro’s side is his beloved Elisabetta’s
father. The old man is determined to keep his youngest daughter from becoming
Teodoro’s wife.
