Marco is young, handsome and well-educated. Not to mention he is one of the powerful Medici family's favored circle. Even before her marriage with Marco is set, Simonetta is swept up into Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici's glittering circle of politicians, poets, artists, and philosophers. The men of Florence--most notably the rakish Giuliano de' Medici--become enthralled with her beauty. That she is educated and an ardent reader of poetry makes her more desirable and fashionable still. But it is her acquaintance with a young painter, Sandro Botticelli, which strikes her heart most. Botticelli immediately invites Simonetta, newly proclaimed the most beautiful woman in Florence, to pose for him. As Simonetta learns to navigate her marriage, her place in Florentine society, and the politics of beauty and desire, she and Botticelli develop a passionate intimacy, one that leads to her immortalization in his masterpiece, The Birth of Venus. Alyssa Palombo's The Most Beautiful Woman in Florence vividly captures the dangerous allure of the artist and muse bond with candor and unforgettable passion"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Vespucci, Simonetta, $d approximately 1453-1476 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Botticelli, Sandro, $d 1444 or 1445-1510 $v Fiction. 600 30 $a Medici, House of $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Botticelli, Sandro, $d 1444 or 1445-1510. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01809076 600 37 $a Medici, House of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00212417 600 17 $a Vespucci, Simonetta, $d approximately 1453-1476. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01855875 651 0 $a Florence (Italy) $x History $y 1421-1737 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists' models $z Florence $z Florence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Painters $z Florence $z Florence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nobility $z Florence $z Florence $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Historical. $x Historical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Artists' models. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817684 650 7 $a Nobility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038255 650 7 $a Painters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050530 651 7 $a Italy $z Florence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204699 650 4 $a FICTION / Romance / Historical. 650 4 $a Biographical fiction. 650 4 $a Fiction / Historical. 648 7 $a 1421-1737 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Historical fiction. 655 4 $a Love stories. 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015333.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909043238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F92088A0347C11E78DAB1C93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
