During the heyday of the Italian Renaissance, young and beautiful Francesca marries the merchant Marco del Bene and settles in Florence. There, the couple encounters a world of luxury and revelry at the palazzo of the city’s ruler, Lorenzo de’ Medici. Yet, difficult times lie ahead for the Medici family, and the voice of their most formidable adversary—the mendicant friar Girolamo Savonarola—grows ever louder. Preaching in the city streets against the pursuit of opulence and moral laxity, Savonarola seeks to transform Florence into a Heavenly Jerusalem. And then comes a wild and terrifying night—the Night of the Angels...
