In 1640, the Doge of Venice, Francisco Erizzo, commissions his theologian to write a biography of Paolo Scarpi for propaganda purposes in the face of the imminent war against Urban VIII, unaware of the consequences. Friar Paolo Scarpi (1552-1623) was the one who best showed the complex web of political and economic interests that clashed at the Council of Trent and how papal absolutism led to the failure of religious concord in Europe. This novel offers an explanation of how the transformation of an apostolic Church into a pontifical State with political and economic ambitions took place.
