About the book: 2005 / American Margot Harrington, a young book restorer, living and working in a small Florentine Carmelite monastery during the flood of 1966, discovers a delightful volume with sixteen erotic engravings by Giulio Romano, accompanying the very piquant sonnets of Pietro Aretino. Almost five centuries ago, the Vatican insisted on destroying the entire circulation. In an intriguing and mysterious way, this single copy survived and has acquired fabulous value these days, as well as a lot of contenders for possession... “Lustful Sonnets”, or “16 Pleasures” is a book that changes people’s lives. And for Margot, this book has in store a test of “passion and gold.” What's the reward? Chi vivra vedra, as the Italians say. Wait and see.
