The Rose of Florence

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.
