Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the fictionalized story of Niccolo, the son of Gano, the son of Lapo of the Lapi. Niccolo is a devout follower of the teachings of the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola, who was a religious and political leader in Florence, Italy. The novel takes place during the siege of Florence in 1529-1530, when the city was besieged by the army of Charles V.
