Take journeys via characters in a remote 16th-century Apennine village; in the Tuscan plains and on to the household of the artist Titian. The stories of the mountain village span several decades in Venice & Florence; Titians art shares his art & life and wonder out of the bleakness, plague and hunger through the characters he depicts. Fitzgerald's beautifully describes Titians art.
