El enigma Galilei

Florence, 1631. As the plague ravages the city, a web of intrigue and secrets descends upon the Convent of San Mateo, home to Virginia and Livia—the daughters of Galileo Galilei, the scientist most closely watched by the Inquisition. Alongside Sister Agnese, a nun fascinated by science, the young women collaborate on transcribing the revolutionary astronomical ideas flowing from the genius's mind. But one night, after spending hours observing the stars, Sister Agnese is found dead. All signs point to foul play rather than an accident. Rumors suggest the nun had been working on a device capable of irrefutably proving the theories Galileo has championed for years—theories the Church is determined to silence.
