The Swordswomen of San Gimignano
2257 N Lincoln Avenue Chicago
Who is best with a sword in San Gimignano? The young nobleman Ruffaelo, whose dreams don't quite meet his mother's ambitions? Or Roberto, a young man of great charm who seeks answers about his parentage? Or the multi-talented sculptress, Artemesia? Or the intriguing serving girl Serafina, whose skills with a sword are mysteriously good? Will Ruffaelo's mother, Elisabetta make peace with Artemesia's father, Captain Dorazio? And will the Grand Duke of Florence outwit the nefarious Ambassador of Venice who plots his own dreams with help from the hapless commedia dell'arte performers, Jacopo and Lucrezia? A competition, a court duel, a spring celebration in the air. Come find out who may fail or win in love, glory, honor or sin.
