Diverted to Rome by a papal commission, Vasari teaches Piero about the history of art while he battles to finish his work in record time and get back to Florence.

鈥淕iorgio Vasari? Who鈥檚 he?鈥�

Florence, 1570. Giorgio Vasari is the top painter and architect of the day, as well as the official biographer of the pantheon of Renaissance artists.

At the behest of his illustrious patron, the Grand Duke Cosimo de鈥� Medici, Vasari has embarked on his most ambitious project ever: painting the city鈥檚 cathedral dome.

His new assistant, Piero, reminds him of his own young self.
