“Allegorical figures were extremely popular at the time; actors and actresses representing Divine Justice, Holy Religion, and Saintly Sacrifice would declaim onstage and then fly straight up to heaven.”

pickPERFETTO!!!
An Italian-American woman decides, after several life-altering events, to leave Lake Como, NJ, to work in her ancestors' land of Carrera, Italy.
I enjoyed everything about this book. Learning about the marble mining industry and how it was the same mine that Michelangelo chose his marble. Gilting. Love your crazy family. Villages.
I plan to buy Lottery ticketsto hopefully get enough money to visit Italy. That is how impressed I am
pickKate Quinn is becoming one of my all-time favorite historical fiction novelists. This one is about 4 cousins who try to stay out of the men fighting for their chance to be the next Caesar. Although they do realize they have to fight in their own unique way to save those they love. #Italy #Jubilee #FoodandLit #letterq #AtoZLitsy @Texreader @Catsandbooks
pickIt answered my questions about Italy's state politics and why Martin Luther was adamant about breaking away from the depravity of the church. Lucretia was not written as part of the evil; she was a tool to further her father's powers. It was Cesare who was the ruthless murderer. #Jubilee #FoodandLit @texreader @catsandbooks
