I'm interested in Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods and often try to read older texts from the XVIth and XVIIth centuries for which comprehension is not immediate. I published (in French) several books on painting and Caravaggino, a novel set in 17th century Rome featuring baroque painter Tommaso Dovini (1601-1637) nicknamed Caravaggino because of his dark palette and his violent temper. https://caravaggino.wordpress.com/
