520    "A girl as beautiful as Simonetta Cattaneo never wants for
       marriage proposals in 15th Century Italy, but she jumps at
       the chance to marry Marco Vespucci. 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"--|cProvided by publisher.
