The sign of the weeping virgin / Alana White. by White, Alana. Five Star, c2012. Call #: FICTION WHI Subjects Vespuccci, Guid'Antonio -- Fiction.   Vespucci, Amerigo, 1451-1512 -- Fiction.   Renaissance -- Italy -- Fiction.   Art, Renaissance -- Italy -- Fiction.   Italy -- Civilization -- 1268-1559 -- Fiction.   Florence (Italy) -- Politics and government -- 1421-1737 -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781432826239 1432826239 Edition:  1st ed. Description:  383 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "The year is 1480, and celebrated Florentine lawyer Guid'Antonio Vespucci and his nephew, Amerigo, return home to Italy from a government mission to find their dreams of peace shattered. Marauding Turks have abducted a beautiful young girl and sold her into slavery. Equally disturbing, a revered painting of the Virgin Mary is weeping in Guid'Antonio's family church. Angry and fearful Florentines interpret these stunning events as signs of God's wrath for their support of the city's leader, Lorenzo de' Medici, and Lorenzo's refusal to end his war with the Pope. Faced with losing control of the city, Lorenzo enlists Guid'Antonio, his friend and staunch political ally, to investigate the tears. In an evocative tale that brings the Italian Renaissance gloriously to life, following a seemingly unrelated trail of clues--a name whispered in the marketplace by a hooded monk, a secret message painted by Sandro Botticelli on the wall of the Vespucci family church--Guid'Antonio and Amerigo chase across Florence to the workshops of Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli, to churches where frescoes seem to fly off the walls, from Florence to the village where the girl disappeared, and, finally, to the hilltop of Vinci itself..."--Dustjacket.
