He invented a style copied all over the world but there’s something that no one knows.

On September 7th, Florence prepares for one of the most anticipated celebrations in the city, the Rificolona, when the streets are filled with people carrying handmade paper lanterns during the parade. It’s a great celebration! Nina, Jamal, and Lorenzo are ready to join in when Mercury drags them into a new adventure, this time to uncover the great mystery of architect Andrea Palladio’s face. Amid ambushes by brigands on the Venetian hills and thrilling chases through the canals of Venice, the three friends will face great artists in search of the truth.

The three protagonists will travel back in time to meet the greatest painters and sculptors of all time, and will have to solve dark mysteries before they can return home.
Intrigue, hidden dangers and plot twists and, of course, a little bit of humour.
