Dear Librarians,

In Renaissance Italy, Simonetta Cattaneo comes to Florence to marry Marco Vespucci and soon finds that the entire city has fallen in love with her. Not only is her beauty and intelligence praised by the wealthy and powerful Medici family but she also makes the acquaintance of a young painter named Sandro Botticelli. He promises her immortality and Simonetta finds that she cannot refuse him, even as she grapples with the politics of beauty, desire, and art. What does it mean to be THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN FLORENCE?
