Caramellunacy: A past/present intertwined story about a painting of a young woman in white and a young painter's apprentice with a dark secret on his way to paint the portrait of Lorenzo de Medici's beautiful young daughter. But he has a darker purpose in mind as well - for the Medici's bloody past is twined with his own.

Caramellunacy: An interesting description of Brunelleschi's innovations in building the dome of Santa Maria dei Fiore in Florence. Could have done with more illustrations and a bit technical, but short and worthwhile if you enjoy puzzling out the feats of engineering.
