I misteri di Mercurio. Vol. 2. Il prigioniero nella pietra

by Nicastro, Daniele, Muhova, Kalina

An adventure highlighting the troubled birth of a sculpture that transformed the history of art – and its light and dark sides.

Who is trying to frame Michelangelo to stop him from finishing his David? In Renaissance Florence, Nina, Lorenzo and Jamal find themselves in the service of the famous artist. Spurred on by the mysteries of Mercurio the blackbird, the three friends investigate the lively city to debunk a damaging accusation of murder against the brilliant sculptor. They’ll see it all – rivalry between colleagues, plotting by shady individuals – and discover a dark side to the great maestro’s character.
