Description
Pisa, 1299. In the male-dominated world of Renaissance Italy, an ambitious young woman named Netta is the last in the line of the great Pisano family of sculptors and stone- carvers. Determined to throw off the impending shackles of marriage and motherhood, Netta sets out to take up her family's legacy and right the blunder that would one day become Italy's engineering marvel and a wonder of the world.
