An artist's apprentice navigates adolescence--and the Black Death--in Medieval Italy.Salvatore Impellitteri is 13. He wants to be a poet, like Dante or Boccaccio, but his father has other plans. Salvatore ends up apprenticed to Ambrogio Lorenzetti, a well-known Sienese artist. Salvatore is bereft. He misses his friends in Montepulciano, and his father has taken away his journal so he isn't able to write. His father says that it is impossible to serve two masters, but is it? When Salvatore meets his father's old friend, the journalist, Agnolo di Turro, he learns that maybe he won't have to choose between art, which he is good at, and likes, or poetry, which he isn't good at, but loves. Just when Salvatore has begun to accept his lot in life, establishing a friendship with Agnolo and with Ambrogio's daughter, Cataranna, the plague comes to Siena. As the world crumbles around him, Salvatore must find a way to survive this "Black Death."This historical novel, set against the backdrop of Medieval Italy, also chronicles the stories of the Lorenzetti brothers, Ambrogio and Pietro, Agnolo di Tura del Grasso, and the city of Siena itself. Siena was poised to overtake Florence as the center of arts in Medieval Italy when the plague killed somewhere around 70% of the population. While Siena is still, arguably, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it never really recovered from the plague. The cathedral's extension remains unfinished.
