Rosaria Carpinelli Consulenze Editoriali

A secret diary found at the burial site of Sofonisba Anguissola in San Giorgio dei Genovesi in Palermo, four hundred years after her death. Traces of the soul and intimacy of a painter whose private life was little known. A life that is almost like fiction, between Cremona, Madrid, Genoa, and Palermo. With research based on his studies and passion for the lesser-known but more intense events in art history, Flavio Caroli conveys his love for the Cremonese painter with this discovery, with Sofonisba's life told in the first person by the artist herself, as in a novel. Thoughts on art, family, the Spanish court, the adventures, travels, and loves of an unconventional woman and painter between the 16th and 17th centuries.
