| Summary | "Il Ritratto del Diavolo" by Anton Giulio Barrili is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the picturesque town of Arezzo, Italy, during the 14th century, and follows the life of Spinello Spinelli, a talented young painter and apprentice to the renowned master Jacopo da Casentino. As he navigates the challenges of the artistic world, his feelings for the beautiful Fiordalisa, Jacopo's daughter, complicate his journey, leading to themes of love, ambition, and the pursuit of artistic excellence. The opening of the book immerses readers in the vibrant landscape of Arezzo, where the narrator encourages them to visit the city, known for its art and beauty. We meet Spinello, who arrives at Jacopo's workshop, eager to learn and prove himself as a painter. As he begins his apprenticeship, Spinello quickly becomes enamored with Fiordalisa, whose beauty captivates him and inspires his work. Amidst the dynamics within the workshop and the rivalry with other apprentices, Spinello’s artistic talent begins to surface, and his relationship with Fiordalisa deepens, setting the stage for subsequent developments in their intertwined lives.
