Festina lente: Make Haste Slowly

'Festina lente - Make haste slowly' is dedicated to printer Aldus Manutius (1449-1515), on his five hundred anniversary, and to all those who believed in the importance of books, after printing tools were invented. It narrates fifty years of Italian Renaissance through the eyes of the poetess Vittoria Colonna, best friend of Michelangelo Buonarroti.
