Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Hubert Robert, Giovanni Paolo Panini and Andrea Mantegna. Rome under a boy pope, with a noble house set on the throne and a woman accused of sorcery at the center of it. Gallizier wrote a run of novels about medieval Italy, dense with the politics of the papal city, and this is the darkest of them. This edition is bound with 58 plates of painting, among them Roman capriccios and ruin views by Panini, Van Bemmel and Hubert Robert, alongside two illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.
