Alberti is a brilliant and ambitious man, but he faces many challenges in his work, including political intrigue, corruption, and personal struggles.As Alberti works tirelessly to complete the temple, he becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships with the Malatesta family, including their leader, Sigismondo Malatesta, and his beautiful and enigmatic wife, Isotta degli Atti.
