Still, she acknowledges that the project is useful for making the public aware of what was happening during the Renaissance, when the great minds threw themselves into different fields in the pursuit of truth and beauty. "Something new was happening then, where if the wife of the emperor was ugly, she was depicted as ugly. This was no Photoshop," says Dolza, an expert in Renaissance-era technology.

...male among a cast of women, Jonah C. Priour ’09 played an excellent Contini, portraying both pathetic midlife desperation and creative obsession all in a convincingly Italian accent. Attempting to take his mind off his troubles, Contini checks into a posh Venetian spa with his wife Luisa, but his worries persist. Refusing to confront his failing marriage and mired in artistic self-pity, he fantasizes about the other women in his life—his mistress Carla, his muse Claudia, the prostitute Sarraghina who taught him how to “Be Italian...
