Arte

In honor of the Renaissance, Florence experiences a cultural and creative resurgence in the 16th century. A charming young woman from an aristocratic family named Arte aspires to be an artist and contributes to the rebirth of civilisation. She unfortunately loses the only person who shared her passion for art with her with the passing of her father. Now, in order to maintain the honor of her family, she must marry a nobleman and lead a sophisticated domestic life. Arte, who is unwilling to accept her fate, goes out into the streets in quest of a skilled craftsman who will take her on as an apprentice. Arte encounters a brutal truth in her search for a mentor when she is utterly ignored because she is a female artist. Nobody accepts her because they don't think women are capable of producing good craftsmanship. Fortunately, a famous craftsman by the name of Leo is convinced to accept her as his student considering he doesn't have any. Arte's new lifestyle officially begins at this point, far from the security of her noble background. She must work to pay her way as an apprentice while overcoming multiple problems on the tough path to becoming a wholly, master artisan.
