La passione di Artemisia tells the story of the relentless struggle of Artemisia Gentileschi, the first great female painter celebrated in art history. In a world hostile to women, Artemisia managed to impose her artistic talent and defend her vision of love and existence, facing personal and professional challenges, including the trauma of sexual assault and a difficult confrontation with her father, the painter Orazio Gentileschi. Set in 17th-century Italian cities like Rome, Florence, and Naples, the novel reconstructs the life of a woman with an impetuous character who broke the rules of her time, leaving an indelible mark on history.
