Para ello, Visconti se rodea de los mejores arquitectos y constructores, los únicos capaces de realizar una obra tan ambiciosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A great novel about the building of the Duomo in Milan.

A passionate historical tale filled with family secrets, love, and power games.
 
Milan, 1385. The powerful Lord of Milan, Count Gian Galeazzo Visconti, approves the project that the Archbishop of the city proposes to him: to build an enormous cathedral that will replace the church of Santa Maria Maggiore and which will become a symbol of his greatness. To do this, Visconti surrounds himself with the best architects and builders, the only ones capable of carrying out such massive work. Among this army of master builders, craftsmen, and artists, are Alberto and Pietro, the twins born from the clandestine love between the young Costanza Frisone and Marchetto, a builder's apprentice. The children, separated at birth, will be reunited by a unique and unavoidable fate: to contribute to one of the most impressive works in living memory, built upon secrets, effort, suffering, and love.
