Description
Florence, 1469. The times when Cosima Bellani was the most beautiful woman in the entire city are long gone. The beauty of the aging courtesan begins to fade, and Cosima starts to worry about her future. However, when the young noblewoman Simonetta asks for her help to win her husband's heart, Cosima comes up with an excellent idea: she starts a cosmetics business and creates her own products, as the trade in powders, ointments, lead powders, and roses begins to flourish. With her help, Simonetta becomes the most beautiful woman in all of Florence, attracting not only the influential Giuliano de' Medici but also the ambitious painter Sandro Botticelli. But soon, a ruthless power struggle erupts in the city, and Cosima and Simonetta are drawn into the ever-present intrigues. Thus, they soon trade not only in exquisite cosmetic products stored in gilded bottles and cabinets but also in secrets and valuable information... The author perfectly revives the charm of the Florentine streets in her book. A beautiful story about the desire for freedom and true love.
