«Il colosso di marmo. L'ardore di Michelangelo» is the historical novel by Antonio Forcellino, published by HarperCollins Italia in paperback (350 pages).
In 1500, Michelangelo returns to Florence and is commissioned to sculpt an enormous abandoned block of marble to create the David. Threatened by Cesare Borgia and with empty coffers, the republic relies on art as propaganda; Machiavelli, its secretary, knows it. It blends political intrigues, wars and passions in the Italian Renaissance.
Second instalment of the saga «Il secolo dei giganti», after «Il cavallo di bronzo»; published in Italian on 30 September 2021.
For readers of historical fiction and lovers of art history and the Renaissance.
