 The Caravaggio Syndrome; comments from readers:

“A luminous and very powerful story.”

~Elena Favilli, founder & editor-in-chief of Rebel Girls and coauthor of the New York Times bestselling Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

“The Caravaggio Syndrome is the dramatic convergence of five characters in two different centuries, beautifully weaved together. It is a book about love, resistance, escape, and solitude.”

~Dalal Mawad, CNN Senior Producer, award-winning journalist, and author of All She Lost

“Alessandro Giardino has written a genre-expanding novel sure to please artists, philosophers, Italophiles, and anyone who simply loves a good story.”

~Christopher Castellani, Los Angeles Times and New York Times bestselling author of Leading Men: A Novel
