Florenzer by Phil Melanson
Set in Renaissance Florence, Florenzer follows three ambitious young men whose lives intersect: a twelve-year-old Leonardo da Vinci who leaves the countryside to pursue painting, Francesco Salviati, a marginalized youth who turns to the Church for status, and the young Lorenzo de’ Medici, poised to become a powerful political and financial figure. Against a backdrop of artistic rivalry and political tension, the novel explores ambition, identity, and the dangers faced by gay men (called “florenzers”) in the city.
