Lady Mirabella of Piccolofazzio

Lady Mirabella loves her part of the world, but sneaks off to Florence when her father is away on business. She has a close friend who apprentices at an artist's studio there and he teaches her everything he learns. She is determined to become a painter and wants to surprise her father with a portrait of him someday. She hopes it will convince him to let her follow her dreams.

I feel that I've followed my chosen path in life, but would like to think I would have had the courage and commitment to do what I pleased if it were a few centuries ago. Although the world is still testing women's liberties all around the world today. Courage like Lady Mirabella's is needed world round.
