In the spring of 1492, a shipwrecked young Greek, Tito Melema, arrives in Florence and charms his way into the house of the blind scholar Bardo and his daughter Romola. As the Medici fall and Savonarola rises, Romola’s marriage and her faith are tested by Tito’s ambitions and a past he has abandoned.
