Return to Venice

About This Novel
There is Greek specialty wine exuding the scent of pine, roasted guinea chicken served on a silver plate decorated with the coat of arms of the Medici family, Pecorino goat cheese, and snacks made of almond flour wrapped in cream that can be swallowed in one bite. There are also studios of artists in the center of Florence in the 16th century, major banks all over Europe, and a dazzling array of shops filled with foreign goods. You will pass by plainly dressed civilian women cooking Egyptian bean soup in a cauldron, and you will have a heated discussion about Machiavelli's prophecies with aristocrats wearing fine satin and lace. What's even more incredible is that you can also go to watch and "interrupt" Michelangelo's own creation of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes! Not only that, the love drama between a handsome man and an elegant geisha, the power struggle between ambitious young people, and the complex relationships between the great powers at that time are all presented in this "Renaissance Novel" series. What was it like to live in the Renaissance era? After reading this book, you should have the answer in your mind. Returning to Venice to decide the fate of the world, Marco returns to politics and once again confronts Türkiye. After the death of Sultan Suleiman of Türkiye, war broke out between the two countries and evolved into an all-round conflict that no one expected. Nearly 500 warships fought fiercely at sea, and more than 15,000 people lost their lives in the Battle of Lepanto. In just one day, the fate of the world was decided. Venice and Türkiye negotiated peace. At this time, the Venetian diplomat Marco was over 75 years old and lived a retired life on Burano Island.
