The Master Of Verona

The worlds of Dante and Shakespeare collide in this epic Renaissance saga! Set in northern Italy, this series follows Pietro Alighieri, son of the infernal poet, as he struggles to raise Shakespeare's most mercurial creation. Set against the backdrop of Dante's history, peopled with both historical figures and characters from Shakespeare's Italian plays, this story explores the origins of the famous Capulet-Montague feud, all leading to a moment that will change the world forever - the birth of the Renaissance. At the heart of it all, a rivalry between friends over the love of a woman - a rivalry will sever a friendship, divide a city, and spark a feud that will someday produce the star-cross'd lovers Romeo & Juliet.
