They were sophisticated, intelligent “ladies” who had a significant influence on 16th century art and culture. But not all that shines is gold. Beauty, fame and wealth come at a price. Veronica Franco, one of the most famous courtesans in Europe, knew him all too well. We follow in the footsteps of the Venetian joy girls and the beautiful cultured Veronica Franco.
